@Nicole CurtisI have had my mac book air for about 5 years strong.... its been nothing short of awesome! 

So long story short I was able to get the property price to $57,500 and ARV was $75,000 with a potential market price at $128,000 with the highest at $150,000.

Some short answers to your questions:1) Convince to listen to some podcasts2) Really up to you and what you find available that works3) You will still need to be involved since it's your property4) I'd stay fresh of what's going on in your market, run the numbers on your criteria and practice finding "a deal"Lastly, some resources I've enjoyed:PodcastsEpisode 108 - Grant Cardone...

Long story short, after three months, we realized we can't collect a penny from both two houses so communicated Morris Invest.

They barely pass muster as ultra short-term trading instruments. 

If you're a numbers guy then do notes.If you're a designer then do short term rentals/rental arbitrage.Tell us which category you're in so we can suggest what may work best for your personality and talent profile.

If you plan on holding the property for the long term, I'd say in general, yes, paying some points (to an extent) will have both short and long term benefits.

In short I think no matter how you borrow for loan A in the Brrrr scenario it’s all about being all in under / up to about 80% of ARV in the end. 

However, this time around, I am a little short on time, so I will just say this.

But non-lenders cannot reasonably get access to it short of bribing someone from within.
