My main question is when using the 50% rule to evaluate homes, don't you have to account for the home equity loan monthly payment(in my case) in the expenses for determining whether the property will produce a positive cash flow for the month?

The lender wasn't able to produce the note when she challenged it and the foreclose was thrown out.

Try networking with the producing agents in the niches you're targeting.

A combo of cash, terms, and hard work will produce positive results.

My original intent was to hold it as an income producing property, but I need to sell it and I expect to pay UBTI because I only bought it in July.

You still must produce an offering disclosure document and submit annual reports to the SEC.

I want the property that's going to quadruple in value within 5 years and produce a $1,000 a month cash flow.

In my opinion, 1,000 names mailed to monthly will produce a deal or two, but it is way to often to mail such a small list.The first thing to do when deciding you are going to go the marketing route, is to figure out how much money you can comfortably flush down the toilet every week and you won't lose sleep over it.

etc.BP is going to release a rental property calculator soon that will produce a nice presentable PDF that you can present.

I created a shared housing model that is producing very well.
