I just recently took one apart trying to get into every possible nook and cranny to clean it and it was GROSS.

My point is cash has no exclusivity on being legally clean and far from it.

Makes an amazing shot of espresso, and pretty much idiot proof so long as you have your cleaner stay on top of the cleaning and maintenance.

If you're investing out-of-state, you're really going to want the buying power and reserve cushion that 100K gives you.

This person will most likely always pay on time and their is a higher likelihood they are clean which will mean in the end of their lease you can lease it to the next person while theyvare there and the deposit will cover the small charges. 

Was able to purchase and clean up, but probably would have avoided the property entirely to avoid the headache and extra expenses.

One tool I already have is PropStream, which I know can be incredibly powerful.

It’s quick, clean, and you can reinvest that cash into another deal.

If you co-sign, the loan will consider both your incomes but also both credit scores, so her credit could impact the terms or buying power.

Most sponsors who have actually survived multiple real-estate cycles, say that simple staying power through inevitable downturns is the most important key to long-term success.
