Buy it using a FHA 203(k)?

The best way I have found is using a solution of muriatic acid. 10 water to 1.

This would lead me to believe that just using a % of all expenses may not be considered reasonable.

Finding them can be the challenge, but using someone that multiple investors and friends have recommended is typically the best.I feel inclined to weigh in on Bryan L. suggestion of using a PM.

You don't have to give a blow-by-blow account, but maybe a broad overview like first 4 were conforming mortgages, second 2 were sub2 deals, next 3 were bought using a line of credit against the first 4..etc.

@Gita Faust, the layout is just much simpler to use and the way the information is presented is much easier to look.Are you using a specific software for your own business?

Using a RUBS system (ratio utility billing system) best.

I guess if you compare it to hard money lending , it might be even a better deal considering you're being charges 3-5 points when using a card and a hard lender might charge you points as well plus a very high interest rate. 

When you purchase using a hard money loan, you need to write the offer as "financed", not cash. 

If the smell is really bad and there's a chance of pet urine or other really strong odors, when you paint consider using a shellac (oil-based) primer first, at least on the floors (before re-carpeting) and up part of the walls.We bought our current home from someone who let their cats "go" wherever they wanted (it was nasty).
