Basically you are spending a large sum of upfront money and hoping you get an roi on that, my understanding though I really don’t do that type of marketing is it was a good payoff if less than you would think based on total sales volume in the before times, but again as conversion rates fall it’s become harder to justify.

Although this is working out ideally, there are some tricky components to this.As of right now, the seller needs to move immediately and is requesting for at least 100K from the 180k that would be due in advance as he is trying to close on a cash only property.

Unless you own the house cash, in addition to the advice you've received, you can't just transfer a house from personal to an LLC without risking the option of the loan being called since the LLC does not have two years of tax returns.For new investors without cash to buy, LLCs are about the biggest cause of analysis paralysis out there.

Also, how do you utilize auction.com or similar to wholesale if most properties say “cash only” and “100% due” when bid is won?

I'm looking mostly for if I buy a 4-unit quadplex (example, or Triplex), how to calculate NOI, Monthly Cash Flow, Rehab, Cap Rate, Cash-on-Cash, etc.For example, whenever I find a property on Crexi, Loopnet, MLS, etc. the NOI sounds good but when you factor in mortgage to get the cash flow, it's almost always negative.I also don't know how to properly calculate a rehab to see ARV so that may be the other issue.
