But if you offered me maybe 1500 on a house that normally rents for 1200, it would be VERY hard for me to pass up.  

It seems from what I've seen here on this forum that it's hard to get that good of terms on cash outs unless you own multi-family commercial properties. 

@Robert Freeborn I would think long and hard before buying a student rental property unless you've had lots of experience in property management. 

I like hard numbers over a general rule.

I'd first see how big of a HELOC I can get, and start going to all sorts of banks looking for commercial loans, and maybe even a hard money lender to generate more.

that is a hard question .cause big and old ones have sometimes more members and small have few but controlled .you will have to try to go to both . i would . you can always find different people that you once thought you would never need .Hope this helps.

Sounds like you put in the hard work upfront (analyzing and finding the right house) to find an investment with a great profit.  

That is how you will set yourself apart from other "Agents", not with your current "marketing" you're working on so hard..

I would think they would push this on us pretty hard, but I've never seen it.

This will vary depending if you include only hard costs or add soft costs, land and financing.
