In my opinion, this area is a melting pot, there is low income, high income, and short term rentals all mixed together. 10-15 years ago, I wouldn't have gone to this area alone to work, but it has gotten a lot better and I have never felt unsafe while working in this area alone. 

you need little things like coffee pot, iron/ironing board, can opener, corkscrew.

.($1,000,000 - $25,000 = $975,000)As a seller you probably have a listing agent to pay too on top of your transfer taxes, closing costs, etc, so the net is less than that obviously, but we are just focusing on the buyer agent compensation piece of it right now for easy numbers!

Contrary to what both faces of the media say - they try and stir the pot and over exaggerate everything.

This transactional lender puts $40k in the pot (for some return which I am curious what they were promised) to get it back at closing as part of seller/lender#2 financing.At closing the first lets say is owed $50,000 so the $70k covers the first balance and closing costs.

Will just flat out raise my hand and say I'm new... but have been studying for years on SS (have done residential flips/rentals), now or never to actually s or get off the pot haha.

If they have POTS Syndrome and want reasonable accommodation to ensure they are not affected (I don't know... is that even a thing?)

Because I have decent cash flow with my rentals (about 19k/month net), I invest aggressively in the SM.

For example, one HF could have 250,000 LLCs set up (not an exaggeration) and therefore can have 250,000 bids in the pot for 0.25%.

Great answers here.I'll throw one more in the pot: we help with this at STRLocator (finding STR, MTR and LTR properties that will cashflow according to your financial goals).You don't have to start with a mortgage or BRRR; you can start by arbitraging.
