I learned then that mortgages on these fix and flip deals for me are to be avoided at all costs. 

I will never enter a deal through a recruiter again.   

To do the cash out refi I want(leaving more cash in the deal than taking out) I would only have a $200 increase in the PITI.

Quote from @Zachary Deal: Hi Anya, I don't have a property in Mesa but would recommend checking out/posting on Furnished Finder, VRBO and Airbnb (30 + day stays), and Facebook groups to determine pricing and try and find MTR tenants.

I have yet to make my first deal and am currently struggling to find leads mostly because I am cash strapped and trying to budget as I go.

I've been researching how to put a deal together for a potential seller. 

Sellers who purchased homes during the market peak may find themselves in difficult positions, as they could potentially have to sell at a loss or contribute additional funds to close a deal.4.

I have recently done wholesale deals to build enough capital for down payment.

How did you find this deal and how did you negotiate it?

If getting the tenant out would kill the deal, would you keep the tenant ?
