Expense reduction is a great way to increase cashflow and create equity.Specialized or Niche Housing can be a huge boost to income.A buddy using Student Housing gets 5K a month from a 4 unit renting per bed after expenses.Another using Vacation rentals has an old Victorian with a bunch of beds rents out each bed $200 a night to tourists.Good luckPaul

A buddy of mine has been able to get 20 traditionally financed loans between him and his wife.

I've never been to Del Rio, but had a buddy that worked border patrol there years ago.

I have a buddy who does rehabbing and he showed me around 8 distressed properties last weekend.

How do you know the seller isn't buddy buddy with the home inspector and brushed some glaring things under the rug?

Buddy, you just have to go for it.

Hey Frank,Good to hear from you buddy. this is a great site and a fantastic way to network with people in the business.

@Dain Boelter I would sell you are losing buddy.

I have a property owner myself and some buddies are trying to save right now. 

In the morning I called my realtor buddy/partner to run the numbers:Purchase price 220kEstimated ARV 350k (conservative)Estimated Rehab 60kEstimated Hard money 14k (Estimated 6 months)Estimated Holding 3k (Estimated 6 months)Estimated Closing 24.5kEstimated Profit $28,500Again, I wouldn't be able to do any of this without such a great team of hard money lenders, my realtor partner, contractors, insurance experts, assistant, gardner, stager, and everyone else that make it all happen.
