As a result, the number of houses that can be bought below market enough to make a profit and still leave room for another investor, can be somewhat limited.

You can use fancy words such as 'using leverage to enhance returns' etc. all day long, but the fact remains: if as a client I loose 50% of my premiums to commissions and fees I don't care what kind of leverage I gain as a result, it would practically be impossible to recover my losses. 

Funds get wired to escrow in two seperate transfers, first one to match the amount on the first HUD, example Net from buyer 122,431.22.  

Ultimately this would make it one giant step toward my goal of having many doors so that a small increase in rent in most units results in a huge pay raise for me. :-)

End result looks great.  

I'm 19 and loved reading rich dad poor dad and yea I agree with you the strategies can be quite overwhelming I'd say best thing is to pick one or two mentors and take some of their techniques and mix and match to formulate something your confident in You can do it keep expanding your knowledge you'll get their in no time It doesn't have to take 30 to 40 years to become a millionaire you can do it with real estate quickly with the right moves .

Can setup "alerts" based on your specific criteria/searches and it'll alert you the moment a match is found.HotPads so you can see what people are asking for rent in a particular area.

You need to examine the details of your comparables to determine what the potential ARV is:Are the comparables all in the same city or village Sometimes using the radius for comparison results in spillover from another city or village into the comparables.  

Hence the leverage to risk taking created by the Fed's low rate policies do not result in productivity.

I would say def not just make sure the deal makes since and matches up with your criteria for a good deal
