Someone paying $1200/mo will expect a clean/fresh place to live.

In an excellent school district, probably a B or B- neighborhood, 20 minutes from Scott Air Force BaseAsking: $115KPurchase: $97,500Terms: 30-year fixed, 6.625%, 25% downWill require a fresh coat of paint and some minor cosmetic updates, but nothing too serious.

If the cap rates peak out in the next year or so wouldn’t it make sense to invest in fresh deals at that time that can take advantage of the higher cap rates? 

Simply getting rid of that payment would be nice and a huge breath of fresh air.Buying two properties for cash would bring in enough cash flow to cover my primary mortgage payment.Buying 5 properties via financing is obviously the most "long term" wealth building option, but also comes with more risk.I understand most of the pros and cons of each option but I would love some more opinions of these options.Thanks in advance!

The house was recently painted and you can see minor cracks coming thru the paint like there fresh cracks. 

Hi BP,I’d like to generate a fresh thread to address an issue that is catching many new investors by surprise: The 6-month Seasoning period.I’m now on my 3rd Rental.

If you are working with a freshly pulled and skip-traced list then your connection rate should be 20% for the first week of dialing.

The sale price won't be revealed until it closes.My best guess is that Covel will sell between $370,000 and $400,000.

The house has a septic drywell and fresh water well, no city connections at all. 

This is a stale thread but thought it might be worth bumping with a fresh perspective.
