Let me ask you another way - If you were the double agent and your buyer was dragging their feet and not hitting the deadlines - do you think the full commission is still warranted? 

It's worth double checking.I forgot that the state will want their chunk of capital gains as well, I am in NJ.

If you double the number of units you own each year it would look something like this:Year 1: 1 Unit - $2,400/yrYear 2: 2 Units - $4,800/yrYear 3: 4 Units - $9,600/yrYear 4: 8 Units - $19,200/yrYear 5: 16 Units: $28,800/yrAnd so on...Building a real estate income of $5,000+/month is certainly possible within five years but would most likely take a good amount of capital (or some great partnerships) to achieve.

If you double click in each cell it provides information on how these numbers were derived.

Buy a property for $2-3k, put another $2-3k into it, flip it or owner-finance to end user, double my money, repeat.After that, I next logical step for me was buying, rehabbing, flipping duplexes.

I too think you are better off vacant than moving these people in, especially because of the current situation, and you can not evict for non-payment at this time. can Salvation Army pay for first and last months rent, or double security deposit?

I retailed it for double what I paid for it so no loss there.

It just doesn’t seem worth it to me considering you can stay booked 20 to 25 or more days every month down south and make double this amount of money.Out of state investing is fun when it makes you this much money!!

Double check your state's wholesale laws, but typically all you need is "Equitable Interest" in a property to be able to market it.

It was sold for 208k back 20 years ago, and has actually decreased in price while most houses in this area have double or quadrupled in price since then.
