If you follow these 3 rules, good renters will be searching you out.    

Using the 70% Rule, my ceiling is at $126k, and with a wholesale fee and transactional funding, my ceiling is at $116k.That leaves us only $24k to cover repair costs, and I estimate repair costs to be above this.  

If someone comes to me, I'll send them your way.If you need help in your search or want to verify something don't hesitate to ask.For example: I have clients worldwide and things are just as easy as I e-mail them, talking on the phone.

Does anyone have a rule of thumb on how to do the renovations without going overboard?

Some sales are easy to put under contract and some take 30 showings and make you want to jump off a bridge.  

If you haven't got a piece of land yet, that info would be easy to acquire during the purchase process. 

The 203k loan was very easy to get.

Wanted to see where everyone gets most of their education on creative financing, mortgages, contracts, notes, you know learning the rules of the financing game--not really anything that has to do with financing/leveraging a home.

It is pretty easy to do it yourself.

However, we're finally at the point where we'd like to start making offers.At the moment, I first calculate using the typical BP rules-- 50% rule, 2% rule (I allow them to go down towards 1.25%), 70% rule with flipping estimates, $100/month/door, etc...
