Also, you'll know where to pull and create your lists from.

Would like to fix it up and pull equity out of it within a 2 year period to buy a duplex.

What would be the best route later to leverage this property and how much could I pull out if i refinanced (also 75% or 75k cash)?

You nasty find It beneficial to hold a GC license (if you want to pull your own permits), but it's not legally required and may not be feasible, depending on your background. 

I can explain it basically, the guru takes your money, loads you stuff that can get you sued, then you go pull off a deal.

ONe reason is we have NO war zone and NO ghetto... we have some areas that are kind of trashy but that's the extent of it..Its not like being in LA and you know you would never pull into Compton or WAtts at night as a lone female or male for that matter.. :)

Now I need help Analyzing it just to make sure the number are good and I'm using the rental calculator right way  before i pull the trigger on trying to buy it.

That way it will be a guarantee to them because they have a lock on the money you borrowed. using the money in the account and pull the interest out of your pocket make all 12 payments. do this several times and your credit score will keep going up.

@Bryan Hancock  I have done a few PPM's over the years and boy they are a ton of work if your just doing little ones IE 1 mil and under and just try to get a CPA to give you a full audit it can be like pulling teeth to get that done.Just seems like a ton of work to me.. but then again I am an old dog.. so everything internet related and tech related seems hard...

It's time to pull the trigger, build a local network, and start analyzing deals.We are looking for cashflow after taxes and expect our first deal to be a relatively small single family property.
