Steven Wilson, 28, real estate agent, Columbus OH Steve, real quick, as an agent did you have a chance to see it in that first hour or did you put an offer out sight unseen knowing that you could walk if it was in need of more than met the eye in the listing pictures? 

What fair return on my principle can I expect?  

Because you totally rehab them, you have most of your cash flow go back on the principle of the loan. 

I grant the time-value-of-money principle says I could have reinvested that $2,000 difference, but that matters little to me given that I spent $70,000 (50K in rehab costs plus 20K down) to make $50,000, a 28% ROI.

I’m working with an architect who is preparing a sight plan review to submit to the planing commission.  

The wire transfer fee was nominal but it's the principle.

Since the bedrooms are what you’ll be renting out, it’s important to keep in mind a home with more square footage but less bedrooms isn’t necessarily better.The same principle applies as in multi-family properties.

New construction that still needed a bit of work inside and out. My husband & I...

I bet the opposite is true though, because the lower interest rate in the beginning will bring higher CF and since the interest rate is lower, there will be more principle included with each mortgage payment, so whenever a refi takes place, there will be a higher "cash out". 

I cash flow very well on this, so could definitely afford to pay more towards principle but I am trying to live off of the cash Flow..I am confused what is best here
