Hi Everyone,I am making a commitment to be more active on here, and going to try to post here a few times a month and also answer questions from my perspective for the younger investors.As the title suggests, I am a long time RE investor, have 3 properties 2 of which I rent out (one is cash flowing $700/mo , YES) I control 1M in assets, have about 250k in equity total.

Even with me being bad at PM I retained more cash monthly than I do with a PM.

Now that you are behind the bank has to put this as a liability on their books and have $400k cash set asideBanks only require 10% reserves typically so that $400k is stopping them from lending approx 3.6M in loans 3.6M at 7% is a big number and will lose a lot more from this than $10-$20k on your loan.

Hi there, I just had an appraisal inspection done for a cash out refi.

In the classic "B" neighborhood vs "C" neighborhood debate, I'd probably give up a 2% monthly Cash on Cash to be in the "B" area.

With about 100k to put  down, I don't think I can be anywhere close to cash flow break even (at least not in any market that is driving distance from the Metro DC area). 

They are offering a syndication fund for section 8 housing paying 9% dividends and 60% annual profit sharing of cash flowing properties in the portfolio. 

I'm all about equity and I think it is OK to not have cash flow, but you need to have a plan to continue paying the mortgage if things get tough.

Purchase price: $1,500,000 Cash invested: $50,000 Duplex was in foreclosure.

., so even if list price, cash is offered, another term might not work, so likely no way to hold a seller to sell until they actually sign an offer.
