could be $200 a month per home for 30-45 minutes of your time each.Not a huge money maker, but an extra couple grand a month for a Saturday or Sunday job isn't too shabby. 

Hi BP Members, as a new Investor to the Grand Rapids area I have recently been soaking up as much knowledge as I can before tackling my first flip.

I am a dreamer and have grand goals of becoming successful in real estate investing, however, I am also big on being fully prepared before jumping into anything life changing.

It turned out that market rent was: $965/mo x 2 units = $1930/moThe purchase price of the duplex was $184,000.1% Rule: $1930/$184,000 = 1.05% PASSAs far as my cash flow goes, PITI and escrow costs total to $1227/mo, and factor in $500/mo for vacancies+maintenance+capex for a grand total of $1727/mo in expenses.

You can make a lot of money on deals and hit grand slams in real estate.

I have about 20 grand to put down.

I own 4 paid off properties, a paid off primary residence and one rental with a 50 grand balance.

Too bad the car is 48 grand and 8 over actual value.Big thing is the rents @Andrew Johnson.  

I came up 50 grand (to 600K).

recent rehab we found above a bathroom ceiling in a dead space an old chair, a cast iron stove top piece, and a miniature pool table from the early 1900s possibly worth a grand or so. house was built in 1875
