(Which means no landlord will take them, or they wouldn't bother with such an elaborate lie.)I don't really know which because they didn't apply so I didn't check employment or credit.Any way, heads up, guys.

Fundamentally, you want to understand what options are, how they work, and how they are priced (Black–Scholes option pricing model, etc).Only with a firm understanding will you be able to employ successful arbitrage strategies.

Has anyone employed the volume rehabbing business model versus the standard 70% minus repairs business model?

I'm going to employ a property manager for the rentals I'm buying.

As employment grows, especially among younger persons, and homeownership continues to decline there will be pressure on the rental market, pushing rents up and encouraging multi-family construction.

I was told the name, but do not remember it at this time.I do not know the legal issues of continuing in "self employment" of RE while being totally disabled.

So, you can see how you get to a 10% profit, if things go well.Remember, that profit is taxable, and subject to self-employment tax (about 15% of the gross profit).

One of the biggest problems is, once you leave your full-time employment, it is going to be very difficult if not impossible to get mortgages on investment properties.Personally, flip some contracts, take that money, by free and clear real estate!

On average, it takes laid-off workers 55 and older nearly a month longer than their younger counterparts to find new employment, and the gulf has been growing recently, according to the U.S.

I always suggest that the investment program is started WHILE you have another income from employment if at all possible.
