In fact the insurance company raised my home insurance cause its mostly not occupied (so they say) lol.Ive had this house since 09 so I do not know how to figure the equity.

I am thinking of this title (but it sounds so "guru-like")"How To Raise All the Money You Need to Buy All the Foreclosures You Want (and not get in trouble with the SEC)"What do you think?

Too many people 'cook' their books to raise the price of the multifamily properties.I live in Lakeland and if you need some advice, message me.Gavin

I want to raise the rent but I want the tenants to stay more.

FYI: This is a Wells Fargo foreclosure he said they were accepting owner occupied now and next Wednesday they would accept investor bids so I wanted to move quick.Timeline of events:Friday: 5pm put in offer at list price as owner occupied, he said I might hear something that evening.Monday: I called him at the end of day because I had not heard anything, he said let me check the website,The bank asked for highest and best offer since there was another offer, so I raised my offer a bit.Tuesday: He called me and said the bank had accepted my offer as the highest and best offer but the closing date had to be within 45 days, he said no big deal, you got it i'll resubmit with a new closing date(this was never discussed not sure why he put the date out so far?)

I was raised around painting all my life and owned a successful painting business.

I can pay cash for the rehab and refinance once completed and rents are raised.For this type of deal (that requires updating and rent raises to make financial sense), should i evaluate it as if the updating cost is part of purchase price and assume no rent raise for 12 months?

Go raise your private money.

I was born and raised in Washington DC, now married and living with my family 10 minutes outside of DC in the shadow of FedEx Field in PG County Maryland (so I can walk to Redskin games).

Born and raised with lots of local knowledge and looking to get into real estate investing!
