Also,  that the cost and time to extract the value is huge.  

In other words, use the cash to help you buy right.Then, after stabilizing and seasoning the investment, refinance it and extract as much of your cash (maybe even all of it) and start over on another project.This is a good way to get a buy and hold property with little or no money down...

If there are ways to extract more value it could help the deal.

Clearly, the strategy is to pursue a longer-term vision when you’re attempting to extract value from gentrification.

My friend Sean O'Toole's Property Radar has about as good a value as you'll find for the money as you can filter down to some really great niches and sub-niches.However, leads like these are really 'cold' leads in that it data extracted, compiled and aggregated into highly useful info, including identifiable trigger (I.e., foreclosure, defaulted taxes, etc.). 

When you change duty stations roll the property into your companies portfolio loan and extract your equity for the next purchase.

You are going to be paying a 1.5% - 2.0% premium over a 5-year fixed (even more off a 5-year variable).Check with your insurance company and see what size chunk they are going to extract from you for the fireplace.  

We want to lend money, get paid, lend money, get paid, etc etc...We don't WANT to have to foreclose and become the owners - we just have to account for that possibility.IMO, all of my requirements have a good, sound reason behind them, they aren't just there to extract as much return as possible.

I own a REIA, it is 30 years old, we do not promote outside products for sale and the cost of the meeting is freeI am not promoting this REIA, I just want you to know that you have alternatives when it comes to these REIA meetings.You should be warned that there are sharks circling around these meetings looking for the inexperienced to sell something or somehow extract money from.

If they just bought something already cash flowing there was not any value to extract.
