If you know the original balance of the loan and origination date, you can make some assumptions for interest rate and length of the loan and generate an amortization chart.

But you're in the industry, essentially buying in bulk, so you're going to get a better price than a random person.

My wife plans to get back to work to help generate us more cash to eventually buy a property.After a long winded intro, we are in a situation where we have roughly $75k-$100k in equity if we sold our home.

My question is how much of a price change should generate qualified tenant calls?

Intrinsic benefits might be your ability to use a property as additional collateral in another transaction, it might be some community benefit that makes you a hero in your community, good will, or generating other business opportunities.A good investment is one that doesn't cost much to get into, doesn't present headaches, that cash flows to pay for itself, doesn't eat any hay, and appreciates in value!

If they are in a position to re-finance I would offer them a discount on the balance - which still could generate a return of 20%+.

If you want to start generating cash flow for future use, then focus on looking for an investment property.

If you're not "married" to your local market here in the Inland Empire then your thought of investing in the Midwest is likely a prudent one.For $90,000 to $130,000 you can get a three bedroom home in a great neighborhood that generates double-digit cash on cash returns.When you live in an expensive market where the rents are relatively low to the purchase price, it is difficult to get attractive rates of return.  

First of all I don't believe you should ever go up and give the newbie speech to random strangers you haven't made a connection with yet.
