There are some specific rules to it that you need to know about.Now, I'm not sure what type of investment property it is (but sorry if I missed it) but on a single family home you do have the option of putting down 20% and 15% when you purchase it.  

I will be taking a vacation trip to Miami from July 22-27 for a festival but I don't want to miss out on the opportunity to network with other like-minded experts in a completely different market that I am use to.

Not repainting the condo and/or accepting the picky tenant cost the owner at least $3200 in missed rents through vacancy

@Jeremy L Riddle  you are correct that is your money to disperse if you want, however, I think your missing the point that when you do the repairs those repairs will be either an expense and tax deductable or they will be capital improvements and increase your basis.  

I must be missing something.

This will be time consuming and a lot of work however I am fully committed to this and have a target to hit per month as I view this as a numbers game plus the fact that I only need one good deal(to begin with that is), my question is how much info would you submit in an original offer to save time but at the same time not miss anything of importance, Im planning on having a template with my info, sales price Im offering and a standard set up of things Im willing to cover.

Here are the pros that I can think of:-I pay myself back and interest -if market crashes i took money out on time and buy the dip -have cash ready to pounce in real estate The only con is if i quit or get fired I’ll pay the Loan back upon that’s the date.What am i missing?

Taking the limited route of using just one strategy means you would be missing out on at least 90% of your potential deals, and in the end you would start forcing your strategy onto properties that you have no business doing...then rationalizing that you did a good thing.One trick ponies lose more than they could ever gain.

I know everyone has their opinion on which card is best, so just trying to see if there are any that I might be missing that could be perfect for this situation.
