A circus or free for all environment where everyone can open anything is not healthy for a community.

Looking at what's going on at ground level is a healthy indicator of what's happening in the local market.

If you're thrifty like buy stuff from wal mart you should be able to redo the whole house for way under that.7) List it with a realtor to get it back on the mls. 8) Then you should wind up with a healthy profit.

We've worked with 1031 investors on several of our deals, it always complicates it, so we often want investors to have at least a healthy 6 figure investment for it to be worth our time and extra money/hassle.Just wanted to point that out as you're considering what avenue to go.

I totally disregard the glowing social reviews and only look for negative reviews of substance.

So if you find a house with an ARV of $400k that needs $50k in repairs, expect to pay around $280k for it.Those are pretty thin margins, but you can still turn a healthy profit if you know what you are doing, and you probably want to avoid hard money financing as that will eat up your profits pretty quickly.

Artificially low interest rates and lower prices incentivized investment through healthy appreciation.

Debt-coverage ratio is a healthy 1.30.It was my plan to hold these assets until retirement (I am 44) and pay them off.

Have your partner lend you the money as a 2nd mortgage on the home at a healthy interest rate.

Have a Happy, Healthy and successful New Year.
