I attempt to get the borrower back on track using a variety of work-outs that benefit both the borrower and me.I use FCI to service the loans once they become performing.

The cash on cash returns are far higher, and with the cash I have on hand, I could finance 10 or more of these rentals (using a portfolio lender) with 30-50% CoC return.

. -- but we aren't using a lender here.Should my father put the house in his name and we transfer ownership at the end of the 1 year agreement?

For these costs I physically have a checklist I fill out for each property and calculate an individual value instead of using a fixed percentage.

I purchased my current home using a 203k loan and am very happy that I did.

@William Edmondson Just make sure when you talk to investors that you talk to them like you are talking to someone that knows what's going on.If someone told me about how they could "close quick"and "pay all cash" and mentioned the savings of not using a realtor, it would sound a bit cheesy. 

Also when using a VA loan it has to be near perfect and move in ready.

I'm currently using the equity that has built in my home over the past 2 years to put down payments on loans for properties out of state using a home equity line.

The map turns sharply from orange to blue around Camden, where the difference between white and black communities seems almost like it has a distinct boundary.In Lakewood, the fastest growing municipality in the state, the town's exploding and largely white Jewish population appears to have settled in an entirely different portion of town than the Hispanic and African American populations.The map was developed using a cartographic interpretation of the 2010 decennial Census -- the most robust dataset available to analyze the changing tides of population in the United States.The data was derived from Census race data parsed down to the Census block level, which typically span only a few municipal blocks in most areas.

I have been using a Solo 401k with Schwab for a few years now since I'm a self employed real estate broker.
