Get a precise and detailed list of where expenses will go.

Myself, being rather introverted, developed a "Customer Profile Chart", when I first starting the real estate/mortgage business.

Bottom line being that I bought them with a negative cash flow and with a tremendous amount of equity, but I had a very precise exit strategy in cashing out my equity before the negative cash flow ate my lunch.

I haven't chosen what precise direction but I'll keep posting!  

It's fannie mae's chart on the discounts given on a rate determined by credit, property type, occupation type, loan amount, and down payment.key word in your situation is " if you can." if you are getting seller concessions or can afford to put 25% and you wont be left bone dry in the bank at the end of the day, then why not.  

Look for opportunities, maybe partnerships, etc.Your question was too board that I think you need to know precisely what you want to do.Real estate investing takes different forms for different people.For some, it is buying single family houses to rent out.

I would walk around the room checking student work and he would have cash flow analysis spreadsheets and charts/graphs, etc up on his screen. 

If you reference the chart it shows a co-planar relationship between cash out loan and the payment and profit.

I asked about their rates, terms and DTI, and made a chart.  

I ask because I keep a comparison chart of real estate crowdfunding investments, and I’m constantly on the lookout for new and innovative platforms that I haven’t investigated yet.
