Hey Cliff,Tried to PM you but it wont let me.

Add another 10% for PM if you wont' do it and another 10% if you pay for water.

With 10% down you will incur PMI and with a credit score of high 500s, you definitely wont receive a good interest rate.

We still don't know the purchase price or projected rents, but I'm not a fan of "buying cash flow" by increasing the cash in the property- it's usually not an efficient use of funds; your cash on cash return suffers dramatically.

Wont get those terms from institutional guys, but after a few he's cashing out other stuff to go with me because he's safer and gets better returns lending to me than anything else he can do that passive.

youll need a contractor so u can get repair estimates. go with him so you can learn his estimates and wont need him as much anymore.build your buyers list. a buyer should never be a problem

As you mentioned, it's not necessarily a quantitative value, but a qualitative one.Less curb appeal = harder to sell.There are a lot of things that are out of your control, for example if someone puts in mobile homes around your house then you're going to suffer from it.

Its a scam...ive seen it in and out..Alot of scammers are using HUD now a days and getting away with it..The next things she or her "lawyer" will do is call you threaten you and try to scare you, then say we can settle this for $2000....We wont sue we wont go to court...blah blah blah....And you wouldnt beleive how many people fall for it...One of the biggest scams in Atlanta right now are scammers are going to HUD homes removing all the hud stickers, they sometimes remove the listing agents signs...and replace it with their own...and any evidence HUD owns that home.Then they put signs up on the poles "House for cheap 35k call 555-55"Of couse people call, and they sucker people into beleiving they have multiple offers but the property can be theres if they put 2k-4k-6k down for a deposit..And of course they do it...Most of us would smell scam as soon as we looked up the property...But they prey on the weak...Anyway dont worry dude...HUD delivers clean title, like mentioned above they are bulletproof......

You can also up sell the ad by letting people know you are upgrading the property and it wont be ready until 2 weeks from now.If people are truly interested you can send them a rental application before hand.
