And all of the Excel spreadsheets involved.. cumbersome and difficult to maintain.. don't get me started!

Unless I think I can time the market, I am going to keep deploying my cash in something better than that.I am also bearish on treasuries, which I think will generally see yields rise (and values decline) on anything with longer maturities (yield curve normalization and long term downward pressure on the ratings/"safety" of US gov't debt).All excellent points- I agree with you on assumable mortgages, but I think the challenge is that most of those are owner occupy and the banks typically won't allow them to be assumed by investors.

It is currently an Excel spreadsheet (which works best for it) but can turn into Google Sheets or Apple's Numbers also (although the formatting may be thrown off with those options for the graphs).

Hey Scott,I took the TT intro course, bought the training, and attended one of their three-day workshops.Prior to enrolling, I searched for lien/deed training courses and TT has an excellent SEO manager, so I ended up going that route. 

s excellent answers to your question a read—they do a great job presenting the complexities of the new construction vs. existing property dilemma you posed.

At this point, I would recommend having a line of credit to cover these things so you don't have money sitting in the bank doing nothing when it could be put to work.I have 33 units, no debt except for mortgages, and excellent income.

That's the goal, of course it does not always work, but if it works it's usually because we have several good candidates on one property and then offer the next available property.

That’s an excellent point about making a lot of offers at the price that makes the deal work. 

We got an excellent interest rate and low payments.

Now, does it take time to make this excel program, dang right.
