I am new myself and have learned so much in a few short weeks.

My husband and I are in our first NOMAD home with plans to use this and the conventional way of purchasing several buy and holds, as well as, lease options for some short term options to boost cash for the long term purchases.  

Of course if I subdivide it I would be able to take 20 feet of the edge of this land and set it aside for an easement for that piece of property.I don't want to keep this property anyway so hearing sell sell sell is music to my ears.

However he is there wrapping up his jobs & my jobs so we won't be ready to start flipping for about 60-75 days.These are my goals / long term / short term situation.  

If you see it on Realtor.com and it is actually listed by an agent, then it is likely a short sale.

Taking the time to expand your knowledge and get involved with different aspects of the real estate industry will pay off in the long run, just don't go into it with a short term mentality and you should be fine.

I tried to keep it simple and short but please let me know what other details you need in order to give better feedback.

Hi everyone,I am looking over the short term to "come home" (so to speak) to get a couple of rentals.  

hello everyone,I've recently made two offers on short sales, (they both happened today)as they looked like good deals when i quickly ran the numbers, so i made offers on both as things are going crazy fast here in vegas and i thought it was best to submit an offer then have the option of turning down the deal if it wasn't a good one.after using the rental calculator one cash flows for 90 and the other for 60. and this is without me allowing for cap x on either, the reason for this is that ones a town home and the other is a condo, both with good hoa's, i did allow 5% for repairs which i think is a lot as the condo has just been totally refurbished and the TH was in good condition and I've allowed 1500 for touch ups, so it'll also be like new after I'm finished. my thinking was that this 5% would cover both repairs and cap x as there shouldn't be much in the way of either. is this a terrible idea for me to allow so little for both.i would be waking in with 25k of equity on the TH and thats without my 20% down payment. and with the condo id be getting around 13k.here are the rental calculator results for both-any help would be greatly appreciated!

I'd love to chat more to get a better idea of what you are looking for (type of neighborhood, assets available, timeline, desired return..) as well as what why you are investing (buy/hold short or long term or rehab/flip).
