Tenants are covering your mortgage allowing you to stash cash for your next investmentC.

CongratsNow either stash the cash or pay down debt.

I feel that a cheap property in an up-and-coming area is the best place to stash some cash.

Nicholas, I would agree with Douglas that you really need to have some cash stashed away somewhere for an emergency.

Just not an option.. im 21.. no great job, stashed money ect.. hard enough coming up with 10% of a $50K house.. but in tucson that $50K would be $150K and negative cashflow every month.

Suppose one was able to just barely scrape together $200k for a $2 Million building, wouldn't you need an extra stash of cash as a safety net for the unexpected in the first few months (repairs, tenants moving out, etc.)?

Over the last 10 years, I've done 6 rehabs and managed to stash away about $500k in seed money for my investment company.So far I've formed a LLC here in Nevada and purchased my first two properties for $130k total (paid cash).

The first task would be figuring out if she was stashing money or not.

. $2500 per house is a safe amount to have stashed away?

It's just BUYER who wants to pay that way because he's likely a cash-business, has it stashed and doesn't want the full amount on the deed.
