The most glaring example: "taxable income" is very different from actual profit as measured by cash received.2.

My advice for you (and my future self) so far is:- be very detailed about underwriting your deal- add at least 30% to what you think your rehab will cost (even if this figure came from a GC)- have a really detailed design concept before work starts (including fixtures/trim/color scheme/etc)- check with your city/township's building department and see what permits you need up front- have more than one exit strategy- add a few weeks/months to your projected timeline- purchase cash if at all possible- build relationships, take notes, and learn lessons along the way- have funGood luck! 

Are investors looking at other markets with positive cash flow? 

I'm trying to BRRR and add value to cash out refi in 3-6 months to buy another.  

Hi Brandon,It's likely more effective to look for private lenders at those ranges as most investors buy cash or use private money at those ranges.

You ALWAYS submit your short sale offer to the bank as Cash AS IS but you can always in most all cities come to closing with someone else’s cash.

My recommendation is you talk to a lender on how much cash you will need. 

In my case, I wanted to keep my mortgage payment low, so I decided not to do a cash-out refinance and instead opt. for the HELOC.Either way, it sounds like you have some great equity to leverage to achieve your goals.

Also you need to ( to get the best deals ) be cash.
