He opines that in so doing, you create a win-win situation which has a multiplier effect on your real estate. i believe that this is a universal principle that will work anywhere irrespective of the type of business involved.Please read the full article below:https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/add-value-money-fol...Merry Christmas!

In 2014 paid 30,000 to principle with 240,000 mortgage.

Like many investors we bid on MLS properties, including HUD, sight unseen.  

@Chance Cooper  - I look at sights like Redfin or even Trulia, or sometimes I get notices from real estate agents about foreclosed homes. 

Yield dropped to 2.5-3% from 09-11 but income never stopped and the principle has come fully back. 

So rent out 3 live in one is my plan to reduce my living expenses greatly and use the savings to help pay down the principle on the loan and invest back into growing and automating my wholesaling business to use that money to build my portfolio faster. 

He's asking $187K.Basically my offers are something like this.A) Total amount to seller at maturity $150000: principle only $500/month for 7 years, the rest to be paid at maturity. down payment $5000B) Total amount to seller at maturity $160000: principle only $550/month for 10 years, the rest to be paid at maturity. down payment $5000C) Total amount to seller at maturity $165000: interest only $260/month, 10 years balloon. down payment $5000 D) Total amount to seller at maturity $179000: principle and interest $570/month for 12 years balloon. down payment $8000Any input or suggestions are greatly appreciated.

I googled it for you: A legal principle that bars a party from denying or alleging a certain fact owing to that party's previous conduct, allegation, or denial.Regarding security deposits, it will be given to you when you take over possession of the property.

There is another principle you should consider - you always want to buy equity.
