IMO, that can be detrimental to the foreclosing lender, because if the lender is willing to let a property go for far less than the published debt - many bidders would just ignore the property that is over-encumbered compared to market value.

Also is paying for PMI detrimental to your projected cash flow?

Unless you need to defer some taxes this year, make sure you have a Roth component for your solo 401k or get a Roth IRA.

However, it is small increments and also has many pieces, components and work with it.

Not rehabbing = more cash flow.Any major improvements I'd do upfront with the rehab components of the loans, if given as an option.

It is difficult to take a house and analyze the expected life of each component and come up with a predictable value.When I look at a property, I will note the obvious items that need immediate attention and deduct those from the value as necessary.I think what you need to include in your assessment is the 50% rule.

During the home warranty period, if ever a major component breaks, ask your rep to "cash you out" meaning they give you the money to do the work, and you find your own vendor and do the repairs.

It depends on who you are talking about.My clients that I work with  transacting as a commercial real estate broker are worth millions to tens of millions of dollars or more.For them non-recourse is a big component to do a deal.Think of it this way.You own 10 properties and after down payment you have 30 million in debt.  

A partnership brings the last two components, experience and capital.
