Bonus.

Could be a bonus room or just another way to refer to a living room.The house I grew up in had what we called a "den".

I'll give you a bonus: 10 tips on vetting a deal sponsor which is located on my website under thought leadership tab you'll find this special report (BP is having a technical challenge w/their blog site so can't pull this one down today).https://www.biggerpockets.com/blogs/9145/59865-div...https://www.biggerpockets.com/blogs/9145/53820-why...https://www.biggerpockets.com/blogs/9145/54155-sel...

The first one is all about experience, the profit is a bonus!

What you are talking about is less an investment, and more a good savings account that may have hidden fees or bonuses, you just don't know which!

EG, for the last several years they have been W2-ing themselves to include an end-of-the-year bonus that makes the business have a net taxable income close to zero.

Fannie Mae's automated underwriting system is actually starting to waive the need for any appraisal on some loan casefiles, but not everyone is honoring this determination, and I know for a fact that not everyone even reads the AUS results where this nice little bonus would be.Appraisers are actually underpaid IMO.

It would be an added bonus if you're handy and can fix up.

For me, cash-flow is king but appreciation is certainly an added bonus.

Bonus points for you...
