So I've essentially bought the property for 80K and I've got 30K of equity.

Sell it to the second buyer, carry back a note for $20k essentially for nothing.Anybody done this or heard of it done?

This is a rent survey, and is an essential step before you buy anything.

Of course this is not a guarantee, but historically that is what these have done...so you can make very good monies in this model quickly.The pools are rated (aaa, bbb, etc.) by Bear & Sterns, Moody's, etcIt is a very nice niche that most people dont know about...you are picking up securitized real estate pools (essentially).If you would like more information I am happy to assist you provided you are willing to pay me a small percentage for the assistance.

The redemption process is essentially a process where specific entities can buy the COP, each in their turn.

I have seen on other message boards how people will essentially have "thread blogs" that will document their progression of information.

Essentially the points seem to be buying down the interest rate.

Instead of relying on a cap rate that is garbage, I simply calculate the cash flow (using real world expense numbers) and look at the equity from my experience of looking at hundreds of rentals in my area(which is essentially comps, except I'm not relying on someone else's opinion of the value).

They will just get their commission which the seller "essentially" pays.

Now cut that $700.00 dollars a month in 1/2 for operating expenses and you are essentially making around $32.00 dollars a month per unit.
