For example the house is appraised at 100k and that's his asking price to sell it in the middle of his rehab as is, with the work he has already done he quoted 20k to finish it, ( this does not include my fee), the house has potential to sale for 150-160k which was his numbers, I also did some home work and it seems that he is right (I don't have a realator to pull comps so I done what was advised by "gurus" and use other resources).

On e you start working you could do a cash out refinance and then pull out money to purchase more. 

When it reached $10,000 I pulled the 5K.

Hopefully I can learn enough and build some confidence in myself so that I can "pull the trigger" and do this (without making too many mistakes).

So now it is time to pull the trigger and become more actively involved.

You can pull out 75% of the LTV on an investment property SFR and 70% on a duplex.

I refied a couple of years ago an pulled out my initial capital but now i have over 50% equity in the property and since the last refi I have aquired several more properties with similar financing. with that many conventioanl loans no bank even wants to talk to me about cash out refi's are there any other options for cheap money i could use for more investnents?

One strategy being to get passive income, and the other to hopefully get enough equity in the single family to be able to pull money out at a later date to invest.I am worried about how much money I am going to need on hand to be able to pull this off.

I primarily do the fix ups and handle management, but like I said If i can make 30-50k on a filp in 3-5 months I choose that over renting out properties that will pull in 20k a year then after taxes, ins, utilities, you will clear 12-14k.I treat rentals as just a stepping stone or beginning foundation.

I am looking for Arizona agents to help pull comps and ARV for me.
