I got ads placed everywhere and even offered sign on bonus... love to hear some success stories here.

Bonus is more cabinet space than you have now.

Bill - I do not have the 20% down for this purchase price, which is why the seller carry of the 20 is so enticing to me, but also why a portfolio lender might not want to fund me.  

The plan is to claim bonus depreciation to offset her W2 income but can I still do that if her name is on the title?

You can incentivize the contractor to complete the work quickly by having a bonus clause with a completion date. 

Purchase price: $78,000 Cash invested: $35,000 Sale price: $151,500 3 bed 1 bath with large bonus room in small semi rural area.

We are about to become new landlords in WA state and are trying to get our forms in order. Can we use the forms provided in Brandon’s book “Managing Rental Properties”?We want to make sure there isn’t some kind of leg...

I prefer to work with smaller builders instead of the bigger companies, and I've always paid a flat fee with bonuses on completion within the original time frame and if the project comes in under budget.

If it's a 3 bedroom can the basement (if it has one) be used as a "bonus" room that will increase the amount of rent you can get.

There are some really creative ways you can write offers to entice sellers to handle evictions and/or repairs required by the FHA appraisal.
