If you own the property in cash, you can get away with whatever insurance you want and can even get $700/yr for a duplex.

I was able to get very similar numbers to the author (hard to get the exact numbers because the author rounds up and then summarizes 3 properties on top of that) when I changed the years of ownership to as follows:Property A - owned 4 yearsProperty B - owned 2 years 3 yearsProperty C - owned 1 year 2 yearsSo I guess my question to the community is, has anyone else ran the numbers and noticed the discrepancy?

An investor is probably coming in to understand if there are any big-ticket items they didn't see when they looked at the house that might change their rehab estimate.

There has to be a point where no matter how good the weather is, the risk of being mugged, or the proximity to a year round tent city makes you feel so uncomfortable you simply won't go there.

You may be able to get away with 10% down if you have multiple fix and flips/holds completed in the last 36 months and the LTARV allows for it. 

The question is this (numbers are just round for ease of calculation):  Suppose the home is valued at $500K, and I took a $50,000 (10%) distribution last year, including what was owed for taxes.

Doing a deep dive into support tickets, around 40% were wifi related. 

I think rather than trying to fit a square peg into a round hole, and there are mostly square pegs, a better vector to set your jib to, might be trying to assist those who are round pegs in our industry rather than trying to get the square pegs to whittle themselves down.

If there are three people and one or any has a weapon I am going to have to take their life over mine if I can't get away first.You always want to try and get away with your conditioning.

@Micah Loewen You may be able to get away with those just fine - doesn't sound terribly expensive.
