In conclusion, Google Adsense and the like, can work well for you if your are confident that your site will generate a lot of traffic overtime, but it can also become very costly.

Any advise would be greatly appreciated.Thanks

As a rule, we advise tenants that "normal" pest control is their responsibility.

Said another way, “not having a mortgage contingency on the contract” is a very different thing than writing a check at the closing table for the deal out of internally generated funds.I highly recommend removing as many barriers to a deal with which you feel comfortable.

San Jose is a different beast for investing, and I feel my time will be better focused in easier areas that will generate positive cash flow.So it would be great to hear general stories of how you built your team, but the icing on the cake for me will be to hear about people who started with similar goals.Also, I realize each person on the team is important, but who do you consider most critical in getting your deals done?

Also discussed various ways to generate a buyers list.

You now have about $12K invested in the property, if you include closing costs on the loan.You rent the place for $1050/month, and assuming an 8.5% vacancy rate (a month a year) and expenses of 40% of net income (a little low, but okay since you just rehabbed), you should see the following returns:- $40,000 in total equity created from the property ($120K valuation minus $80K loan)- Year 1 Cash flow: $862- Year 1 Equity Accrual from Payments: $894- Cash-on-Cash Return: 7.43% (not including equity generated by rehab)- Total Return: 15.14% (not incl. rehab equity or tax benefits, which are investor dependent)- Total Return Including Equity Generated by Rehab: 347%If you choose to keep the property for longer than a year, your total return will obviously drop, but you're still receiving nearly $1000 a year in cash flow, $1000 a year in equity, and still have $40K in equity generated by the rehab.Rinse and repeat...

I think they called it someting else.I can't wait to see what the next generation of "I can't believe it's not better" loans will bring.

I would not necessarily advise buying a house "subject to" on a long term basis, although many have, but just for a few years while you sell the house to another party.

Fortunately I'm still able to buy the 10,000 inch LCD (not plasma) :D I guess what I'm saying is that...what our generations are used to, the economy is bad and getting worse.
