So, yeah--I want to set up my marketing operation like the wholesalers do but not actually assign my contracts.So, what's a guy in my position to do? 

They get 8-10% cap rate and have a positive cash flow.This is the time to put in a new bath, new flooring.

Then if there are no hammers coming down from the town code enforcement officer, the studio apartments would potentially net $300/each/month after expenses (those include Heat, Electric, HW).So the potential positive net cash flow is anywhere from $300/mo - $1500/mo. 

As the face of the business, the awesome reputation (being positive here) will directly reflect on me not some faceless business where people have no idea who owns it and have to track them down.

Hi all,Okay, so I just took position of a property and the previous owners smoked inside for years.

That new vehicle is likely to be a passive, LP position with a very strong sponsor / operator relationship I have where his money could be pulled out or reinvested after 24 months and would achieve roughly a 10% cash on cash return payable in quarterly distributions.

Anything that would impact a lender's decision to lend money (yes, it is real money they are putting at risk, just as if *you* were lending to some dishonest person) is required to be disclosed.

I was fortunate enough to start buying back in 2012 so I have a good equity position.

We watched the pound to dollar rate, and we transferred the funds when the currency was in an advantageous position.
