I am personally focusing on investments that either have a larger percentage cash flow (which are less likely to find) or a value add component that can hedge some of the exit risk. 

Tax exposure, risk tolerance, investment timeline, investment objectives, and diversification are all critical components that should determine the way you utilize your funds and equity.

It is true that owning a home has traditionally been considered a key component of the American Dream, and that rising interest rates and increased competition from institutional and out-of-state investors have made it more difficult for regular, or "little guy," buyers to afford a home.

I went out and bought window units with a heating component and installed them prior to appraisal, then returned them afterward. 

They'll also have to approve an appraisal and environmental on the property as well... so for the most part, they'll require all of your ducks to be lined up (nothing can be left open-ended).

They had lots of nice things, nice houses and fun charitable and environmental projects.

I am thinking I could give them the 1st month rent fee to handle this component of things.

It's provides a nice conceptual and practical framework for determining the scheduling components of flips, including an optimal ordering of the work; factoring in and planning for dependencies (when the HVAC is getting upgraded, the electrical has to be on and often the gas, etc., so planning around those; with enough dependencies, it could be easy to overlook a few of them at first, although the example above may not be the best); an anticipated timeframe for each of various tasks (he divides the property into 25 very handy and well-organized components, and covers them one at a time as well as how to view it in the larger scope of a rehab), and more.

I'm expecting Brad's program to basically fast-track me into MF investing with the critical components of being able to tap his network and being associated with his reputation.

The educational component is huge!
