And if you treat it as one and do the things you need to do, it will reward you very handsomely.

If you want to affect your bottom line, understand what an investor does to get to closing 2 where they get paid, and you will get paid handsomely

Tell everyone you know, that you borrow money secured by RE and pay handsome returns.

The recent declines in home prices and high foreclosure rates in this market have given me reason to think that the next coming months (if not years) will present good opportunities to smart investors to profit handsomely from buying properties "at the bottom of the market".

On a typical six month loan, that works out to about 11% of the loan amount, or about 7% of ARV.Yet on the third hand some HMLs want to see some percentage of the deal in your own cash, regardless of the numbers.Many HMLs require you to do the work first, get it inspected and then get reimbursed for the repair costs, if those have been included in the loan.And you will want to have enough cash to cover any unexpected problems.If your underlying question is "how can I do a fix and flip with none of my own cash" then I will say that is very, very difficult to do.

Sounds like you are acting as an agent without a license which is a no-no.Also, I'm sure many on here (including me) would pay handsomely for a steady stream of probate leads.

On the other hand, some say that since the wife usually makes the final purchase decision, she is only going to be emotionally engaged if it is staged well, or at least, is COMPLETE.

I would offer it up as funding for someones "amazing" deal who needed some funding help (I would probably factor it as the total amount 50K would buy me so call it 300K, 400K, what ever).I would charge a handsome lions share, thats about the maximum leverage I can think of..... should earn about 20K-35K if done correctly.

This is one of 3 identical adjacent duplexes, all built late 1940s, all situated handsomely on top of a hill across from a popular city park.

Ok so lets say that you are going to make a really handsome profit from an assignment of contract and still get your end buyer a good deal.
