First, handing the whole mess to your CPA is really the best approach.

Hands on real life experience is the way to go!

If your hands on person, you can pretty much develop the skill of a what home inspection person does, some people on this forum do there own inspection.

They are hands on Landlords and live the buy and hold business every day. 2.

thats a great ideaI know a handful of rehabbers that look for sub2's while they are fixing it up b/c it's cheaper then HML

When it comes to that, XSitePro is full of surprises and Dreamweaver can never beat XSitePro, hands down.With XSitePro, I can build my affiliate sites much faster.

I know the owner's hands are tied as far as making a deal, but I am a ruthless :mrgreen: investor who doesn't have to follow the standard way of doing things right?

So, whether you are paying cash or not, I would still do the cash flow analysis as if you borrowed 100% of the purchase price (and initial rehab).On the other hand, if you decide that your money is truly worthless, I'll be happy to borrow as much as you have at 1% interest.

I always recommend to people just starting out to go out and find deals for other investors - it allows you to get the experience and learn hands on without taking all the risk.

They love having you near by when they want something like someone to hand the rent to.
