I DID NOT buy their coaching, but I did spend a RIDICULOUS amount of money for coaching from RICH DAD POOR DAD and from PROVISION (Tom Wheelwrights company.....

You need to spend a good 4 hours just calling different banks (credit unions) and finding out what their terms are for secondary or investment home helocs.

When you purchase a property, there needs to be A LOT of equity so that your buyer can purchase from you, pay for rehab, and still have enough equity left to be able to sell at a profit.So, if the value is $100,000, you buy at $50,000 - you sell at $60,000 - your buyer spends $20,000 to fix it up and they sell it at $100,000 meaning they can make a $20,000 profit. 

So if I spend $12K to furnish the home (including all kitchen items, bedding, towels, etc.), I need to know the furnished rental can clear an extra $1K/Mo after expenses vs. unfurnished.- Also, in my market (for 30+ day stays) it’s important that each unit has laundry, parking space, small kitchen and approx. 1 bathroom per bedroom.

When I book hundreds of rooms at a shot, they tend to give me the best pricing, since DUH, it's vegas, they aren't making their money off the rooms, but off the gambling, the liquor, etc. and Im putting several hundred corporate people in their property who are all going to spend money.  

Typically, the maintainers are staying in hotels where they are spending anywhere from $1,400-1,800 per month on a basic hotel room.
