However, my favorite method is still the simplest: checking the cash in the bank.Each week, I look at the current account balance (minus any outstanding credit card balance), compare it to last month's balance, and even check back to last year’s balance.

Quote from @Fareen E.: Quote from @Theresa Harris: Let her rent it back at market value-why are you giving her a discount-did you get a better price when you bought it on the condition she could rent it below market value for a while?

No proof of liquidity.When I asked for any proof of liquidity, the realtor says they are not interested in jumping through hoops and called me a jackass.Is this how business is done now? 

It is completely free for the landlord and tenants and the site makes money through premium features like background checks, speedier processing of rent payments, etc.I can post rentals, accept applications, do background checks, create leases and send them out for e-signature all for free.

I have liquid funds ready, but I want to make sure this is worth my time compared to the 5-6% cap rates I've seen on multifamily units in South Florida, which are close to what I already get from CDs and high-yield savings accounts without the hassle of property management.I'm also hesitant to invest out of state since I'm new to real estate and don’t want to make a costly mistake.

Aloha nui e @Loren Cota,Are you still in the process of looking for a house on the Big Island?

I have gotten 90% financing for more than 1 first timer because of their credit and the quality of the project.You need to be very liquid using credit unions for the purchases of shell houses cause the rehab will be on you. 

Loan balance is 280k, value is over 500k, cash flows about $1300…went to apply for a business line of credit thru my operating LLC and was denied due to losses in last years schedule E…the idea was that I use the LOC to help pay for a down payment.

I just picked up two more, One in S Collinwood, (Nathanial ) all in 75k, rented 1700, All in 70k E 109 rented for 1500.

REITs are easy to get into and highly liquid - log in to your brokerage account and buy a share - but you have zero control whatsoever.so...
