If you sold the house, your closing costs would eat up some of your proceeds and on top of that you'd have to pay capital gains. 

And just new paint would eat up a good portion of those repair dollars.

Okay, I might have gone a little crazy on eating out when I first moved to the city but I've gotten that out of my system now!

Most of these ads are garbage; Coupons for groceries that you don't purchase, restaurants you don't eat at, etc.

@Dmitriy Fomichenko and @Mark Nolani'm sitting here with my wife, eating dinner and smiling while we read your information.

Amazing food, but terrible that I can not stop eating

I also want to buy my first multi family for passive income but that would eat up my savings and I'd have to continue working a job I dislike.

For me, it was that I didn't have much cash on hand at the beginning to invest for only modest results so I needed to be really conscious about how much cash I kept in a deal.

But for the majority amount and time, it was set to Automatic investing.I did notice now, after all this discussion, the published rate of defaults (Charge Off Rate) is much higher than I remember in the past, and in addition to their 1% fee, it eats pretty much half of return.

If you bring a deal at 65% of ARV, cash investors will eat that up all day!
