This new client also put up cash on the buy and can handle the rehab out of personal funds..Caveat to all of this is very conservative LTV's and my guys by and large have cash and substantial cash at that of their own they are not running on 100% leverage..

I agree with Matt, you want a rent to cost of at least 1%, and depending on where you are, substantially higher.

Obviously, fix/flip profit is substantially higher, but also more work, capital, equity partner, risk, etc.

Ash Interesting, charging a substantial fee like that... not sure how that would go here or even if it would be legal.

No debt real estate investing takes a substantial capital base.

Generally speaking, if my Seller is willing to reduce the price so substantially, they are smart to reduce it to the public at large to create a bidding war.

A llc, unless you have substantial net worth is an unnecessary and complicating expense.

If true, this has substantial impact on how we work with our IRAs and something to consider when nudging your private equity sources into moving to Self Directed IRAs to invest with you.

You can send the appraiser "additional data", just not try to "influence" his/her decision.

@Darren Sager covered all the major points.The only exception to the rule is if you will be doing substantial renovation to the unit and then and only then can you take the increase higher than the unconscionable increase.
