(I love watching the balance on a 15-year go down pretty fast, but the flexibility a 30-year affords can't be beat.)

While the interest rate may be higher... around 7% or so, you will have much more flexibility with the number of loans and you won't feel like you are undergoing a proctology exam everytime to go through the process.Also, using small local banks (you will be looking for portfolio lenders) your degree of confidence in knowing that your deals will get financed will be much higher.I recommend that investors purchase their deals with hard or private funds and then refinance thosee funds out with a local lender once the property has been leased up.Hope this was helpful... and best of luck!

This all works pretty well, furthermore they have the deposit slip as a receipt.I think you will find through your investing career that there are better ways to collect rent, although being flexible helps.

The flexibility and lack of alot of business etiquette stuff makes RE a perfect fit for your situation: when you're looking at houses, or visiting your rehab job site, just strap baby girl on your back and away you go.

You have the flexibility of CLP/WC insuring the high exposure entities like the management co and construction co, and lower cost insurance for the rental LLCs.

The right portfolio bank might be more flexible on your land contracts as well.I wouldn't be anxious to pay 12% interest on long term money.

However if you are comfortable with 1.5% rents in B and C areas and are flexible with geography, I think you'll quickly find cash is your limiting factors, not available deals.You'll have to determine what you consider worth the risk.

Scholarships can be especially abundant if you are flexible on what college you attend.

The good advantage I have (if you want to call it that) is that I work from a computer and I'm flexible to travel.

No recent felonies (I keep this vague so I can be flexible if needed)3.)
