I live not only rent free but also generate income from the rent I'm able to charge and cover property taxes!  

I'm in our procurement department, so I spend all day working with our suppliers of both goods and services, helping folks at our resort properties sort through issues, finding strange/large/expensive/hard-to-find items, and bidding out items that we need for various projects to generate savings for the company.

However, I suspect you could generate far superior returns for the same purchase price.  

Keep in mind that your max LTV will probably be 75-80% so the max amount of cash generated back to you (before expenses) would be $55,750 - $68,000.

I'd like to fix my credit and generate a cash flow.

My wife made it a beautiful home, added a hot tub, updated the HVAC, repaired the boathouse, remodeled the Master bathroom & several other items like emergency generator connection.

I know the easy answer is "deals closed," but what I'm really looking for is what metric would allow you to simply focus on doing what you do best without needing to worry about generating and nurturing leads.For a bit more context, I'll be coming in and automating my clients path to purchasing new deals by generating leads, engaging with these leads to learn more about the property and their situation, scheduling inspections/consultations, delivering offers, getting what's needed to close, even getting reviews after the purchase.

Real estate has the ability to generate passive income and provide a path toward building wealth.

I know bombing is time-consuming(it will kill an entire day, by the time I`m done), but I heard there are flea-bombs, that also render the next generation of fleas moot, by making them unable to re-produce.

The bail out means that taxpayers (you and I) will be paying this debt for generations to come.
