You didn't really think that I was going to post the address of a potential grand slam deal on a public forum full of investors who owe me nothing and have no loyalty to me, did you?

Were we are finding that good families want to live close to grand dad (etc).

Utilities and other stuff are typically pretty small in the grand scheme of things.My point is that this 70% rule of thumb isn't just some arbitrary number.

If I didn't do the right thing, then I'll have to chalk it up to a learning experience I suppose.Ran the numbers on a property in Grand Prairie, TX and it was showing a cash flow of $535 a month with about $17,000 out of pocket using hard money.

I only say this because when I was new I used to come up with grand plans to get a deal only to then speak to the owner and realize it was of no benefit to them to structure it that way.

I'll caution you too about getting sold a loan, sucked in by the ...we can do that loan officers...only to find you spent a few grand and they can't or won't or require more from you, it's a game, so beware.

Hello everyone, my name is Luke Stafford I live in Zeeland, Michigan which is a little bit southwest of Grand Rapids.

I can tell this will be a fun forum.I am not too worried about the expense of the W/D in the grand scheme of things but it does sound like it is just another area to get abused.

My wife and I moved to Grand Haven, MI from Des Moines, IA in February.

Again, I thank everyone for the grand welcome.
