If you go the hard money route on any deal between $100 - $350k assume it's going to cost you about 10% of the Retail Value of your product assuming 6 months borrowing plus the cost of Realtors and closing is going to run you another 7% which means if your deal is solid and runs according to plan with a full price sale, you need to clear 17% "offa da top" which in this economic environment can be done and the guy who pulls this off with a decent profit for themselves on the first deal is definitely a player.We make our own luck in this business!

I know this because I've been there with the DA's office.

The local DA is investigating the lawyer actively on that matter and we expect an indictment soon.

@Engelo Rumora Nadam se da ti majka pošalje kavu koji puta ako ti fali :) @Thomas Cocke I am interested in many things regarding investing in real estate.

In many cases when shopping class C/B there is a fine line in distinguishing between a flat out bad deal and early gentrification.I look at ABCD resident classes and describe them by the shirts they wear:A Class: White collar professionals just one step away from home ownership, demand for high amenitiesB Class: Blue collar hard working American Families, proud of their home, keep it clean, may rent for long time before buyingC Class: T-Shirts with Subsidies and Section 8 residents can be profitable but usually require higher maintenance and tenant "da-rah-mah"D Class: NO SHIRTS drinking 40's out of paper bags on the front stoop, get fitted for kevlar or RUN!!!! 

If this is one off doubt they will do much.. to do anything with FBI you call them on the phone leave the details and they will call you if interested if they are not you simply never hear from them.. its not like TV.as a fairly large HML in my day  I had a 15 million dollar forgery case that we were in teh middle of ( borrower forged docs.) that got turned over to the DA and that guy got 9 years in San Quentin ... which that probably is what your looking for  LOL

Hello @Neil Da Silva ,I live in SK and although I don't invest in Alberta, I try follow what is going on there.

All RE is local, just saying, that's what local is here.Another thing, there are people in my area, Realtors, attorneys, the DA and other investors that will go out of their way to lower the hammer on wheeler dealer types that screw over some home owner, at the very least their name will be mud and run out of town here.

Your business doesn't seem to have DA (depreciation or amortization), therefore EBIT (or Operating Income) would probably be close to the operating cash flows the business generates (however, need more info to tell).
