However if this is an appreciating market, although your monthly cash flow might be neutral or negative, you may over time actually have what we consider phantom cash flow, which is gained through appreciation and tax benefits. in most cases, if you need true “cash flow” use the simple one percent rule.

You need to make sure that how the money is collected is 100% collected prior to them putting a single door in the door.  

I would guess the price they are willing to pay is so low, probably 30% APR, you wouldn't find anything you could make money on.

Personally, I'm betting my own money on it, looking for investments now that our inventory has creeped up to about 4 months supply, which is still pretty low compared to most markets.  

It's not just about making more money, it's about living a life that's long and full with those you love.One of the above pillars is giving back and one way I do that is to help people just getting started find, not just the next property and get them to sign a contract, but to also get people set on a path of success and show them the things that I wish someone had shown me when I started out years ago. 

Slightly different, but I used to have a money partner that provided all the cash, and I did everything else.

I offer to purchase the home for a discount equal to the expected cost of PITI plus repairs/maintenance for the life expectancy of the homeowner, plus a margin for profit.I have the option to refinance the home to pull money out of it after purchase to finance other real estate deals.

@Seo Hui Hanthat's just the BRRRR strategy, and using borrowed money for the buy.it's just about risk.low risk: buying with actual cash, from your own checking account. 

I actually use the "CDOM" field for just such searches.

The question you should ask is how much money I will make if I invest $25K in this deal.
