The deal structure is just as important as the price because you get more into the income approach versus the sales comparison approach with SFR.How hands on you want to be, what returns you can find locally in your market, and you long term goals are key.I have some clients that want more yield and are willing to deal with headaches to get it.

Account Closed I have been looking into doing that strategy, taking down the house myself, then turn around and resell it.How do you approach such a strategy with having a short term vacant house.

And @Wayne Brooks dont get me wrong, all realtors dont do a reckless job regarding low equity and negative equity listings.Short Sale Success is a maybe with the lender, with incredible delays, and the ramifications of doing short sales can be seriously detrimental.BTW, I love CCIM Commercial Realtors, its a demanding designation to earn, and should be sought out doing commercial deals.

I think it provides a balances approach, and allows you to gain from the benefits of the two different strategies (they work together rather well).

Im trying to understand the logistics of doing business with an investor.How does the approach work?

It will depend on your personal view on how your approach investing and if you feel as though you're helping people sing up for those classes.

If you can get $1000/month or more (1500-2000 would be incredible) using $50k then you have great numbers to work with.

In the end it seemed like it was a better approach to invest where it was easier to manage and take the profit and rent a place where and when I wanted.There is just too much competition to purchase property there.

Personally I take a financial planning approach and I put most of the decision weight on financials.

I hope you find BP to be as incredible as I have.
