Anyone have any insight to either of these methods?

I'll definitely research the RUBS method you mentioned above.

Hi Dhar, I am a healthcare professional and a real estate investor, I am in a process of moving 400 - 500 K from 401K to either traditional IRA or Self-directed, can you make a few suggestions and methods for RE investing and also SDIRA custodian companies.

http://www.myrealestatespot.co...Now is a great time of the year to go to Airbnb and VRBO and use Luke's "enemy method" to see if you will make money:  https://www.biggerpockets.com/...Although Airbnb has changed this somewhat, It's traditional for STRs in OC to rent by the week (usually Sat to Sat) during the summer, mid-June to early September.

Almost all issues with tenants seem to be resolved easier if you employ a method that involves the carrot and the stick.

Reviewing my own criteria, I guess I would have to say I use a combination of Aaron & Nathan's method.

There's got to be a more precise method, I'm sure?

@Edwin Brown I am in the process of making an offer using this method.

It is a great source of passive income.I recommend books and audio tapes found at www.jimmynapier.com on the subject of buying debt as a great way to become better acquainted with the business and how to get started.What may the best method for you to begin is to become an investor with a developer.

My question is, is it impossible to change the method of acquisition when already under contract?
