Then you deduct principle and interest from the other 50% (and hoa fees if applicable) and the rest is your cash flow.

Great stuff, but I caution you to heed their advice about not running after every shiny new object.

Hello All,I was wondering if any of you knew a reliable and effective crowd funding site/community (you used PERSONALLY multiple times) to fund part or [even] all of your real estate transactions, and whether it would be a sound decision in my particular situationIn my particular case, I am looking to do multiple double closings (wholesale) using cash buyers, fix & flip AND/OR rent with HUD propertiesMoreover, I had another idea to promote to investors/prospects within the crowd funding realm; I am thinking of purchasing a HUD property myself with the aims of converting both the building and the associated land into a commercial greenhouse facility and/or headquarters for a new company in sustainable systems installation and maintenance (aquaponic systems, vertical garden irrigation, solar heat/electricity)The ultimate objective is to figure out which path would be most effective -- as of rite now -- and run with it.

What is the real objective? 

Thanks for sharing your list of criteria values and identifying your investment vehicles towards your objectives and freedom.

Leverage does carry more risk for that reward so others rightly object to this strategy.

So does this same principle still apply if I were to pay just the past due payments and penalties?

@Tom La Rosa I think your primary objective should be figuring out how you are going to make a living, that is where suggestion about starting your own business comes in. 

If I were you, I would not object to your partner making that drive every day, he could listen to the BP podcasts and learn while doing it. ;-)
