Purchase price: $37,000 Sale price: $65,000 Land deal as is / buy low sale high.

I'm not a big fan of HELOC toward a down payment unless the numbers make sense and vacancy rate is low. 

Not sure how one would make money on this. they are following the buy high sell low concept of investing. !!

this is a nice thought and catchy name (GATOR) LOL.. " The man in the new suit is getting rich on your dreams "  Stevie Winwood  Taffic low spark of the high heel boys.

Home last sold in 2007 for somewhere around $120k, currently could sell for upwards of $400k, so it's probably paid off or has very low interest rate.

In terms of feedback from our team, we’re leaning towards buttoning down the hatches, keeping rent increases low, and focusing on maximizing occupancy in our New England markets.

. #1 you can often find promotions for zero or low interest from furniture stores that you might want to consider. #2 many private/hard money lenders will consider furnishings if the deal, including the furnishings, falls into their deal box.Believe it or not, it might be easier to include the furnishings in the deal with a significantly lower down payment if there is other rehab work to be done.

While the property hasn’t appreciated much since purchase, we’re considering keeping it as a rental due to the low rate.

If the tenant has low net worth, a court judgment is practically worthless.Taking a week to vet a tenant can save months of headache.

Here’s the bottom line; unless the deal is VERY large, or the sponsor is going to syndicate a large number of deals, the investor will make more money purchasing the property theirselves with a option low to moderate interest rate loan.
