@Raul Cesar cortes adding a pool is great as the summer is so hot here, however, the rule of thumb with pools is that you take the cost of the pool and divide by two, the number you get is the amount of equity you add to your home.

It is hard to find deals that meet the 1% rule here though.

Until they’re issued, they don’t exist.Like if they were going to fine you for abusing trash rules or something but you sold the house before they did, would the new owner have to pay?

Almost meets the 1 percent rule!  

I'm reading in the forums that many use a once a month strategy as a general rule but does that still apply to pre-foreclosures since the potential seller's timeline may be a little different?

Positive cash flow that should reach the 1% rule in 5 years.

It will be difficult to find much online as securitized real estate has to follow rules set by the SEC. 

I'm an agent, I do some work with investors in the Short Term Rental market, my boyfriend has an Airbnb that we have professionally managed, and I have a decent working knowledge of the local (ever changing) rules.  

I’ve put a few bids on them locally in the KCMO metro but the rules for KS and MO are so different.Missouri’s redemption rights are simple, if you buy the property it’s yours.

Thus, we are still buying (as flippers), but instead of using the 72-75% Rule, we are down to the 70% Rule and looking for steeper discounts in order to give ourselves more cushion if the market continues to soften.
