When I was younger I spent a large amount on a rehab turned into long term rental, but nearly cleared out all my capital.

Proportional leverage (like 27% LTV) isn’t specifically required, but if you don’t reinvest the full amount or fail to replace debt, the difference will be taxed as boot.

Payment TermsContract Value: $[Insert Amount].Deposit: $[Insert Amount] due before the commencement of work.Payment Schedule: Payments to be made as follows:[Milestone 1 and payment amount].

I'd estimate that there are less than 1,000 legitimate, or "professional" wholesalers, in the United States of America, as defined by individuals who make $100K flipping contracts, and collecting assignment fees, in any form, and who have made that amount of income more than 3 years in a row.

., the appraisal for 5+ is at least $2k-$3k) and the financing structure by lenders because Fannie/Freddie don't generally buy loans for commercial properties.So, for you personally, the biggest driver for the type of your next property is probably going to be the amount of a down payment/equity you can put in the property.

If the answer is yes, then it's a no brainer to make minimum payments on your 2.8% interest rate mortgage, and use the funds that you would have paid extra to pay it down faster, to either invest in more real estate, the market, or anywhere else where you can get a ROI > 2.8%.If the answer is no, then feel free to aggressively pay it down as fast as possible, to become debt-free faster, and just have a large amount of money in savings or to splurge with.The bottom line is that your 2.8% mortgage is GOOD debt.

that we’ve learned in our 24 years, managing almost 700 doors across the Metro Detroit area, including almost 100 S8 leases:Class A Properties:Cashflow vs Appreciation: Typically, 3-5 years for positive cashflow, but you get highest relative rent & value appreciation.Vacancy Est: Historically 10%, 5% the more recent norm.Tenant Pool: Majority will have FICO scores of 680+ (roughly 5% probability of default), zero evictions in last 7 years.Class B Properties:Cashflow vs Appreciation: Typically, decent amount of relative rent & value appreciation.Vacancy Est: Historically 10%, 5% should be applied only if proper research done to support.Tenant Pool: Majority will have FICO scores of 620-680 (around 10% probability of default), some blemishes, but should have no evictions in last 5 yearsClass C Properties:Cashflow vs Appreciation: Typically, high cashflow and at the lower end of relative rent & value appreciation.

It's calculated as the ratio of your total loan amount (loan amount for purchase + loan amount for your rehab) to your total costs (purchase price + rehab budget). 95% is a good target.Avoid application and other upfront/junk fees. 

In 6 months they will be licking their wounds having given up on the system, now being that much further (by the amount spent, amount lost investing, wasted time, and emotional devastation) behind in realizing their goals and dreams 

Long-Term takes the least amount of time, Short-Term the most.Unless you have the time & discipline for this, SELL.4) If you sell, would it make sense for you to re-invest in other rental properties?
