Our sellers insurance was half ours as he had no coverage...When you get rent rolls and leases make sure they are complete.

I do however want to get rents up to market value.I am in an area that enjoys a low cost of living and the rent roll ranges from 500 to 700 a month on nearly identical units features and square footage wise.

No magic bullet.Anywho :roll: One guy / girl said that I could buy a house under a lease option and then lease option it out to someone else, with bigger payments and a shorter time period than the primary lease option.

If it were YOUR money, would you build a duplex, sell the lot for a small profit and rolling into an existing rental property, or pulling the plug on ND because the market has peaked and invest elsewhere?

I've been fortunate to have bought/sold my first home and roll the majority of the profit into my current home, so I have $200k+/- equity in my current residence.

And FYI I did not have a mentor and started with very little money-bad credit and it took a long, long time to get rolling.

Jim, I have been investing in real estate for over 5yrs now and I do have a strategy my partners and I have used before in order to help roll the money and keep some properties back for cashflow.

Now I can''t remember who said it; just rolled my eyes and went about my business.

I personally believe that this site has been the biggest source of enlightenment, and motivation for me to get the ball rolling!
