Thank you for pointing it out @Nathan G..I will write all your questions on paper and have them answered to have a clearer path.

Meaning, if you don't know anyone in Indiana....but you do know a real estate person in New Mexico....then you need to go with New Mexico - even if Indiana shows you more returns on paper.

I'm running deals with 25% down and even considering some MF with FHA and its damn near impossible to make some of these deals make sense on paper. 

@Eric Fitzgerald good old fashioned pen and paper on the first monday of every month.

Not worth the paper they are written on.In summary I think the seller is jerking your chain & you are not the type of buyer who's gonna make any money here.

So something really cool happened today, and i must get this out on "paper".

That's still a huge amount of loans.....I have a business partner who works with a company that does bank analytics for bad paper.. and they are still in business  LOL.. its a never ending cycle..

This is why we should always look for a robust cash flow in addition to value-add.The magic of leveraging looks so good on paper that it is hard to resist the temptation of over-leveraging.Get in with the premise that we should never HAVE to sell, and it should all be good...

A colleague and friend wrote a white paper on this exact topic called, 'Diversification Means Always Having To Say You’re Sorry.'

Can I take a commercial loan against my earnings and history though and showing company just on paper?
