I am certain that I don't know as much as I need to in order for me to get this company rolling.

It's boring but goes pretty fast.Pro tip - get a rolling tape measure (The big wheel type, not the small wheel type) and a laser tape measure.

I did not want to show my lack of experiences :roll: 3.

Originally posted by Bryan Hancock:One of the calculations that happens frequently is that someone figures a project return for a project that takes less than a year and then annualizes it.So that time I rolled through Vegas and threw a quarter into a slot machine and got two back wasn't really the 630,720,000% ROI I've been bragging about????

Obviously, I hope that wouldn't be the case, however with Short Sales, who knows what long term future holds... you've just got to roll with the punches I suppose!

We have the inventory,,just don't know how to get in touch with the seller besides expensive ppl search sites,,find this is the hardest thing in getting the ball rolling,,Lease

:roll: Success does not follow simply because you're eager.

I'm also interested in how you guys got the ball rolling.

Let me try to give a real world experience that may provide some conclusion as to whether or not owning more properties provides greater protection.I’m going to use a duplex that I purchased in city of South Minneapolis back in 2014, that I self manage.I purchased the duplex for 180k with a fixed 5.25% for 30 years with 25% DP and 3% closing costs.Let me point out some of the specifics of the duplex.The windows, furnaces, water heaters and HVAC were brand new as of 2012.I have put 5k into unit #2 for renovations and 3k into painting the house due to a violation of lead order by the City of Minneapolis.So keeping those upcoming expenses in mind for the near future, suppose two investors have 50k to spend which is to be used for closing costs, DP and realtor commissions.Since I paid for closing costs with cash, I’m not going to roll them into the loan for this example.
