You pay the plumber directly - your GC still recommends him - you write up a separate contract that states he will get xx% now and xx% every week - or you could pay xx% for each specific plumbing task that needs done (this will also incentivize him to stay on schedule)

first of all, no one can predict the future and secondly, a lot of why that happened is due to people getting mortgages who shouldn't have. today, you need a colonoscopy in order to get a mortgage.and in terms of the Midwest, we are seeing 0-2% appreciation growth in our area last year.

In a lower key/slow growth town.

Well, for now, you'd do well to learn about self-directed retirement accounts and how to attract private lenders - anyone who wants a better return on their retirement funds than the negative growth Wall Street has been providing of recent, and they want it with less risk.For the longer term, learn about building credit inside a business entity.

Hi All,I know a lot of people are turning to virtual assistants to offload some of the repetitive tasks that are taking up valuable time for real estate investors.I'm about to embark on a change of situation and will be living in Brazil for the next 12 months.

Only property owned, want to build on portfolio and maximize growth potential.

Since my goal was both equity and cash flow and I was new to this I instantly jumped into the Equity portion rather than letting the effects of the rehab on the property and financing build equity over time and this has hindered my growth in number of properties because I spent way too much Capital per $1 of cash flow.So, how much capital did I spend per dollar of cash flow to get a single dollar of cash flow?

Any input would be appreciated.I like the Fairmount / Francsiville 19130 area as it seems like a mix of families and yuppies but seems to have plenty of room for growth.

The most important thing you can do for your personal growth right now is....

Darrel- Congrats on the growth of your real estate portfolio!
