I find it all so incredibly interesting to learn about and want to start applying the tools I have and put them into action.Although I am eager to get going as soon as possible, I do have a few limitations and have had some set backs when it comes to income available as well as credit history for loan/mortgage approval.I have been doing a lot of reading about lease options, lease purchases, notes, partnering with an investor, purchasing without a bank loan...I am wondering if there is anyone who can help with some insight who may have gone this route or found themselves in a similar situation as me who could offer some advice on the best way for me to get started.Thanks so much!

You said you have 5 paid off rentals, goodness man...you have some great tools under your belt that you have no idea are there!

Its the BP buy and hold calculator under the analyze tool bar at the top of the page.

Sure, there are business, continue ed and tool/equipment costs, but if you're doing a good amount of work, you're amortizing that over lots of jobs, and it really shouldn't be terribly much per job.

The only way to deduct life insurance premiums, add to that the tax deferred earnings and a possible return of dividends makes it a great tool to utilize.I like and recommend everyone to have an HSA; safer, tax incentives, not to mention all gains are tax free if spent on qualified medical expenses (a great way to pay for long term care premiums!!)

Different insurance companies may have different tools to determine that value.

If I understand this correctly, this seems a tool to get LEVERAGE on folks who are unwilling to do a workout on the delinquent 2nd.

What tools do they use and how good are they?

I can't see it, too tight for any tools to squeeze in, it has other pipes running along, across, on top so even sanding was a challenge.Whatever I do has to be done without seeing.

Rather negotiated using the situations in getting things they wanted making it part of the consumer protection scheme that was demanded politically.
