I've been thinking of mailers, but I don't know what gives the most bang for the buck (and the second I started researching, I got bombarded with those little yellow card mailer ads).

I have a second property (lets called H2) that I'm rehabbing that I pay all cash for it and it should be ready to sell by next month at a resell value of $150,0003.

The second you replied "So", any agent who is worth their time would have parted ways with you.

Instead, they are added to the purchase cost and depreciated, starting from the date the unit is "in service" - which is now.Example: the cost of the duplex is $200,000 and renovations to the second unit are $20,000.$100,000 is the personal unit. $100,000 is the rental unit. $100k + $20k = $120k.

Okay I will be investing in a house at the end of this month with my father-in-law.

The second property I purchased (to rent) had previously had awful tenants, and even required a significant amount of renovation as a result.

Hello everyone,My name is Eddy and I am a second year college student at UMass Amherst.

I'm referencing the article I posted a link to in my second message above.

If I could I would do a second and pull out the 150 k and use that to rehab the property and use the rest as down payment for new Brrr.  

AND with an additional caveat: the PROVABLE cash flow from the property must service the debt with a cushion of at least 20 -25%, so a debt service coverage ratio of 1.2 - 1.25.That being said, the 'gap' can, in some cases, be filled by seller carrying back a second lien.
