Two years ago, we did a cash out refi at about 50% of the equity on 6 or 7 of our SFRs and used that money to buy a beachside STR. 

@Hanna Minkinit sounds like you're potentially considering buying a rental with 100% financed funds. 

Hey all!I am purchasing a property in Ohio and since I am unrepresented by an agent I am debating having the listing agent represent me as well.What do you think are the pros and cons of purchasing a property with dua...

@Benjamin M Racicot always have an item of value to give out (with your information on it), but do not ask if they’d like to receive it.

DO NOT let a lender hardpull your credit until you're certain that you're ready to buy within about 60-90 days.

Hi, my name is Jack W. and I am looking to learn some more information about wholesaling, investing, and flipping in the OC area of SoCal.

the lady trying to borrow had this great notion but no experience and the property she was trying to buy I happened to know very well it was in Clear Lake CA no way it could be developed.. but she had a dream and Remington fed into that dream. 

Because I am a full-time college student and I work part-time I ask that the interested parties submit a rental application before I show the house, but many of them refuse to give a rental application unless they can see the house first.The criteria for what I look for in a rental application are as follows:Credit report: I look to see if they have had at least 90% or higher on-time paymentsBackground check: I look to see if they have ever been evictedJob and rental references: I look for a steady income and make sure they can afford it with what they make I also call their current landlord to make sure they have been a good tenant and confirm the information the tenant gave me.I currently have it listed at $1650/month with a 12-month lease.

IMO you can get the same information for free from this website, maybe buy a couple RE books for $100 total investment would give the same information.

That being said I’m Submetering a 5 unit currently and the biggest expense was the actual meters which my electrician directed us to the exact product he wanted and told us to buy it off EBay.
