On Page 134, he lists the following when analyzing a deal:Sales Price: $132,490.00Sales Expenses: $17,000.00Loan Balance: $55,004.72Total Invested Capital: $35,950.00Profit: $24,535.28I agree with his thought process here when he calculates net profit, but I'm trying to verify the net profit by adding up all the sources of income over the past five years in his example by doing the following:Appreciation over five years=$12,490 (see chart on Page 133).Cash flow ($297.73x12x5)=$17,863.80 over five years.Loan paydown: ($60,000-55,004.72)=$4,995.28 over five years.Sales Expenses are still $17,000.Doing the math, profit= $12,490+$17,863.80+$4,995.28-$17,000=$18,349.08There is a $6,186.20 difference from the net profit he calculates.My question is: Is this $6,186.20 difference due to the forced appreciation gained in the property from the rehab he does in this example?

I'm vacillating because I don't want to miss out on any legal, tax, and other considerations (i.e., Does their equity transfer to me?). 

In this case the current financials on the property aren't great(rents well below market value and the owners family living in several of the suites) so the lenders will likely not provide the funding based on poor NOI.

This is good news due to future increases in Taxable Values being capped:)@Nicolas Munoz The City of Detroit offers many 2-4 unit properties, allowing an owner to live in one unit and rent out the rest.

Hi Everyone, Im looking to get some advice on evicting a former owner who isn’t playing ball after a foreclosure sale.I purchased the Property on the 5th November, it appeared to be empty but turned out to be occupied.

This is essentially a cash-out refinance post-closing. 

A friend of mine is trying to figure out what is a better long term strategy.
