There's other ways, such as doing joint ventures and equity partnerships.  

My suggestion would be to order a product called Phantom from various online DIY pest control stores.  

Various sources of funding used in combinations provide creative solutions, seller financing, crowd funding, angel funding, investor pools, joint venture capital, conventional financing and other sources can be combined to provide unlimited possibilities.Deals done? 

…anyways …doing inspection on such a house might be a huge hit and miss if you realize that all plumbing is gone due to burst pipes …furnace does not function ..there are DIY shorts etc ..opinions ?

If the fact of the matter is you can't find cash flowing properties, even without a PM and with reduced maintenance costs via DIY, then what are your options?

In one of my ventures, my partners and I have everything very well defined about how money is distributed, in what order, and when.

We did really good with both numbers because they were easy to remember, came with pre-packaged marketing like radio, tv, bandit signs, postcards, letters - really whatever we wanted to use including billboards.Those two numbers helped us get a ton of leads because they looked much more professional than traditional yellow letters or DIY mail pieces and bandit signs.

<g>I am an HVAC/R contractor and get to see first hand the horrors which often result from DIY installations and all the fly-by-night / I'll do it for $500. over cost types.

Water dripping from the stairwell ceiling, very damp and that she thought she heard running water but didn't venture down there to check anything out and called me instead.So I leave work and rush over there to find a basement FULL of MOLD!!!!

That being said besides my cash resources I have bigger questions about my time.Currently I work a full time job that I can't leave to pursue this venture, especially with no guarantee of success.
