Investment Info:Single-family residence buy & hold investment.

Quote from @Cheng Zhong: Ocklahawa's appreciation is slow, and it's a choice you need to make based on your own needs, and I personally don't recommend you do that if you're buying an investment at this stageThank you for the response!

We don’t have much cash on hand to buy and fix up our next property.

Some math: - $250,000 should be able to buy a storage facility or facilities valued at $500,000. - 20% cash on cash on $250,000 investment would be my target of $50,000.Will y'all point out my fallacies?

Jay, the deposit we are seeking is 25% of the purchase price (this down payment goes towards the buyers loan to buy the property) and ensures that the buyer will move forward with the deal as in any contract.

Lately I find myself doing clerical duties making sure that I'm escrowing enough for taxes and insurance when I should be buying and selling notes and properties.

Don't think that works for buy n hold investors.

Hello Tatyana,I think that there is a lost art of Seller financing currently, I think that you can make the argument that seller financing is safer than buying a CD in a bank. 

@Albert Bui  I have done quite a few sub too's and I have had a few called. even though they were current... we of course just cut checks to pay them off.Where sub too becomes a disaster is when the person buying it then sells on contract to a sub prime buyer who then goes on to default.. and the person who did the sub too sandwhich does not have the means to make payments during the foreclosure process and or has the money to prosecute the foreclosure..

It’s a great location to buy and hold and rent.
