We see the occasional block foundation but I don't think I've ever seen an entire home made from cement block.I know one "feature" of block foundations around here is that building codes won't allow a 2nd story to be added to a single story with a block foundation.That could have something to do with what I see here as it's pretty hard to find a ranch. 

Just let him know you are interested and keep in touch occasionally.  

You'll likely have to deal with drama amongst tenants, monitoring the utility bills, lots of turnover, and the occasional police phone call.

It'd be mostly for personal use, but would consider renting it out occasionally to help offset costs. 

Occasionally there will be wholesale properties that have a decent margin but most of the time they're bid to absurd prices.

Meeting is normally on Thursday nights, occasionally on Tuesdays, and some full day Saturday seminars.

@Yitz ParnesSome properties are more work than others, so occasionally one might sell a “headache” property and use the funds yo buy one that is more passive to operate.

Only occasionally will we see them come in significantly above the purchase price and that happens most often in the $1M+ category.You should still be looking at your own numbers for after repair value. 

I have two tenants that over 6 years have needed 1 repair every 2-3 years (microwave, garage door opener, and an occasional appliance repair) other than that I never hear from them.

My sense is that I have probably run across quasi-private (small company lenders, possibly backed by hedge funds or private equity cos) who will do higher LTV.I personally am not comfortable taking on high LTVs at this phase of the market so I dismissed them out of hand and didn’t even save their info, and I hesitate to even post something which isn’t specific/helpful, but I do feel that they are probably out there if you look hard enough.But I’d also caution you to read the loan terms carefully because my sense when I have occasionally run across these companies that will do higher LTV is that they were pretty sophisticated, so you would want to be careful in dealing with them to know what you are agreeing to.As I think about it more I think some of those lenders/programs were oriented to make loans to mainly experienced investors and rehabbers, so if you are relatively new to the game you might not fit into their profile.I wish I could give you specific companies (I think one might’ve been based out of Connecticut) but again I am relatively conservative when it comes to leverage so I didn’t bother to save the info.
