I did have problems with the guy removing the limbs because he told me he would be there at 7:30 the next morning and I told him that would work but My Ford f150 truck was dead so I couldn't be there till 7:45 but once again he was calling me like I took his money and someone was trying to steal from him but my husband misheard what i told him to pay the guy and had to go back to the bank Atm but of course my husband actually went to his bank atm which was in the downtown Jackson area when he could have went to the one around the corner but he said the people were still getting the tree limbs when he came back and they received there $450.00 and my husband received the $15.00 in gas money he requested for doing this for me on his time and it was raining that day as well.

Investment Info:Large multi-family (5+ units) private money loan investment in Harker Heights.

Hi All,I considered starting a REIT to allow others to invest and build wealth in projects that I would start, but that was a much, much higher level than I actually have interest in pursuing.  Reading through some ot...

Where can I go to borrow money to give the contractor in order to get the project started?

However, there are limits on the amount of liability VA can assume, which usually affects the amount of money an institution will lend you.

@Louis FernandesDo you really think someone would lend a stranger money at 3% when you could invest it risk free for 5%?

Couple reasons for this.1. sucks to lose money every month when you just put down 20%, which can be a lot of money2. what if there is some kind of emergency i.e. large maintenance, non paying tenant, etc, then you are really in a bind and obviously that comes out of your personal funds3.

What @JDmartin said.......You'll lose money unless you hire a good GC.

., find a way to make money on this one and don't lose a good deal bc you're chasing a home run...whatever it ends up looking like, you found a great deal.

Even though you'd be getting into the deal with $0 down, you should still have enough cash (or availability to access cash) to cover the worst case scenario of a tenant who immediately stops paying after you close on the property and requires you to complete an eviction action against them.To your second question, I'm sure you've heard it before, but the 4 main ways you make money in real estate are cash flow, appreciation, debt paydown, and tax benefits/depreciation.
