We seek to build recession resistant cash flow for the long term that is just not as likely to be present without resident ownership of the homes.

also with max leverage you have minimum income.. with cash in low end properties you have max income with no risk of debt.. you can weather the storm.. real estate is a long game.. those that get over leveraged with max debt are the first to crumble when things don't go right.. and believe me your fico is very important long term to scaling as well.the number one failure in the business world is companies that are undercapitalized.. and in my opinion if you don't really have any capital and cash backing you have no business buying real estate and especially owner financed. since your putting the seller in jeopardy they are usually not to aware of the consequences.. and to get a seller to go out and put a loan in there name then you wrap that loan or take it sub too and you have no real cash you can see who loses in that scenario its the poor seller and now there credit gets creamed if they don't have the ability to make payments on a house they do not own anymore.. 

We have great weather.

Just an FYI but I’m paying $700 a door for new installs that’s tracks weather stripping spring hardware on an insulated door.

As they say, the past is no guarantee of the future but I discovered that collecting nickels and dimes from properties that need constant maintenance due to weather was not worth the aggravation. 

If you're in a decent neighborhood in that price point, you have ample reserves and/or income to weather any storm, I'd do this over and over until you hit your next roadblock.

You will pay taxes, insurance, utilities, and mortgage payments on a flip project weather you live in it or not.

The weather has not been too bad here this winter (so far).

It's a GREAT book that talks about Resistance which is one of a thousand A.K.A words for fear.

When I'm rehabbing/building a new bathroom, do I absolutely need to apply Redgard to waterproof it or the moisture resistant sheetrock is enough ( purple or green) ?
