Personally I don't think anything with a cap rate under 10 makes sense from a business point of view.Cap rates vary greatly by area, even down to the neighborhood level.

They do tend to pitch a lot of books/seminars/tapes but they also go over high level concepts which really helped me in the beginning.

The upper limit is the out-of-pocket expense limit.

If you depended solely on rental property income you would be in trouble if you had a catastrophic level of vacancies or other problems related to the properties. 8)

If loans completely dry up, the real estate market will grind to a halt, and prices will plummet to levels that will make todays look great.

Anywaaaayss lol... ladies and gents, Ive been trying improve my cold call ratio and i need a formula for how talk to a potential seller/ and how finding out if an seller is motivated. i am a new investor as of which i have completed 1 deal and am in the process of completing an second, but for some reason this which i believe it due my mechanics and experienced level when talking to an potential sellers of course u get the typical hang ups, or the No's for no logical reason;. but when u find someone who is willing to sell and determining if there motivated to sell are two different things.

The concept seems (at least on the surface) like it would work quite well in this market.In it's new form, he has three levels (Free, Gold, Platinum)New Form:It is the Platinum level where an investor can flip.IP = Buy at discount, Sell at appraised (to Buyer with down to 500Fico), Assign contract, Seller creates Note...

it took the fed and state a very long time for the mda fundsthe MDA - as an investor youd get 40,000 back on a single familyon a quadraplex 160,000.of cousre the rents must stay at a certain level for 5 years.our local economy is doing well.

I give more weight to solds than listings, but if there are multiple listings of comparable properties in the same area, then they define an upper bound on the value.Based on that data, I'd say $70K for the first deal is not a good deal at all

My ad explains that I am looking for people behind on payments, facing foreclosure, fixer uppers they can't afford to maintain, etc...However these sellers did not seem real motivated at all.
