Landlord would try to extract(deduct) for at least something(keep in mind, there is no damage).mail When asked about the key to the mail box, landlord, who do not live at the place said he is "not going to give a key to tenants(?)

My rule of thumb is the less equity you have, the more skills you need to extract profit.

Then, in order to extract some equity, you need to get it below whatever LTV the lender will allow.

Since then he has had a hard time gaining meaningful employment.

Willing to do some grunt work as long as it's meaningful and leads to good education/experience.

Though now that I think about it, I'm not sure how discounted cash flow analysis is going to be more meaningful than an IRR analysis for a positive cash flow asset with no initial investment.

I would like purchase another rental and just wondering if I have a great opportunity to extract some cash to put into a new investment.

In the mean time I’m putting bread, actually more like takeout, on the table as a site analyst for an online clothing retailer.I’m looking forward to being an active member of this community and hopefully making some meaningful business and personal connections.

Once you have plenty of equity, you can obtain a HELOC or do a cash out refinance to extract the equity tax free/deferred.If you hate being a landlord, hire a property manager.

Your time extracting the data from public record and updating it would create a position.
