I'm a more experienced churner then investor ( here learning)Using the method your mentioning has the potential to raise flags with the CC companies for misuse of the programChase has been known to shut down accounts and Amex calls you for a "audit"The method is valid but carries some risk if abused

If you get it down to that it probably means your rents are to low and you need to raise them.Much success.

I have found that with the New Year, sellers raise their asking prices more than other times in the year.

Raising rents on tenants after purchasing of property -- good or bad?

Now, if you need to eat and still go to school, ya need to set your sights a little higher I'd say.Speaking of raising your sights, look to the market as to what the demand is instead of picking something because you think it's cheap to do.You can do a deal on a $250,000 home with a grand in you pocket, so get the basics of RE first, then look to the market then to a strategy that fits a property and a seller's needs.

Hi All,I was born and raised in Los Angeles and am familiar with many of the different cities.

About as much stink as you could raise would be to get your option price back if you got that, otherwise you're buying from the tenant buyer.

Our company grew very fast, we're just at a point now where I want to raise more capital.

Or should I pay as much as I am willing to in order to live in a good neighborhood and to get a house I can raise my family in?

Yes it's very nice.I started to have a head ache...I wonder if they are legal residents...It's not a war zone area, probably very nice people who work hard, some of the residents do not have vehicles, but the building is only 3 blocks from a major road with public transportation.The numbers do work.But I doubt I can raise rent without upsetting the dynamics of that group.I also don't think these tenants found this place online, it's word of mouth.Something doesn't feel right.
