I'm hunting down pre-foreclosures to flip (my backyard is in the $250k-$450k+ range), and then putting that cash in a neighborhood in southern CO with lower property values that cash flow.

Purchase price: $453,000 Cash invested: $80,000 Personal property and first real estate deal I did as a realtor

.% Paid in Cash: Cash sales accounted for 43.1% of transactions, slightly up from last year's 42.9%.

.% Paid in Cash: Cash transactions made up 22.8% of sales, a slight decrease from last year's 26.1%.

.% Paid in Cash: Cash transactions made up 24.6% of sales, down from last year’s 26.6%.

It will just be easier on the cash out of pocket to bring on a few investors.  

It raised a couple of questions in my mind about the risks of wholesaling, namely the implications in the event that you assign a contract and the buyer backs out.It seems to me that Paid at Assignment would both:Result in committed assignees, otherwise they would risk losing the money they paid the assignor, andProvide the assignor with a significant cash cushion against breach of contract if they cannot locate another buyer prior to closing, and ultimately decide to cancel the contract with the property owner.But this raises another question. 

For context, we have been running a successful airbnb for 6+ months cash flowing close to $750/month.

Purchase price: $200,000 Cash invested: $70,000 Wife and I finally pulled the trigger on this duplex.

But the only liquid one of those (until you sell a property) is cash flow.
