When cashflow is beyond what you expect, the expense of a PM all of a sudden seems very worthwhile! 

I've suddenly decided to go ahead and quit the 9-9 job in 30 days and do real estate full-time.

@Holly Williams  I suspect this may be spurred by deals going bad and all of a sudden lawyers get into it and say hey you did not protect our investors well enough etc. etc.REalty shares does a nice job FYI  you may want to look into their debt deals.

I am always amazed how "multiple offers" suddenly show up on properties that have been sitting.

Upside: I keep the liquid for other things if needed, including paying the loan off if the interest rate suddenly goes ballistic in 5 years.OR: should I drop $30K into the house, and finance $60?

Aspen has never experienced such a sudden and precipitous drop in real estate sales," according to the post.

If you buy a note and the borrow stops paying, or a renter moves out and you suddenly need cash to get it rent ready you could be in a bad spot.I would look at being an entitlement / partial of a loan.  

I think the agent simply took market rent, applied them to all units, and used one of the R&M rules to come up with his number2. property manager listed no rent income for 6 months straight and suddenly for the very last month on paper there was an income of about 2800 dollars. this made me doubt if the entire income and expense reporting was accurate3. owner did not provide tax or insurance numbers - the listing agent estimated them...I also heard from the selling agent that one of the bigger units will be vacant from next month, due to eviction of tenants from rent delinquencies The owner is out of state and seems clueless on the operations of this building.

I/we recently inherited a 1/2 acre lot with a small cabin on it, It had all originally belonged to my Mom, but then she suddenly passed away a few years ago and left it to me and my Brother.

Sub2 in general works best with pretty, low equity houses where the owner has become a sudden seller.
