I personally got most of my golden nuggets from the Podcast breakout sessions.  

I ended up paying 2k cash to close instead of 30 like I was going to initially end up doing.

Hello there, I'm in Michigan with a Section 8/Hud Vash tenant who has 3 more months on an initial lease.  

What would numbers look like to refi at least some, say the repair value of 35K out and leave in the initial 10%?

My initial depreciation is based off of the purchase price, so if I am able to increase it does the new value have to be based on anything in particular (tax assessment, appraisal, zillow estimate)? 

The key component for you to is to understand WHY you want the initial terms, do you have any business reason for those numbers?

Sustainable homes consistently hold their value far better than homes of equal initial cost.

I got the opportunity to join one of those groups when it was still small and it initially originated here on BP.

I tell myself I should be like everyone else in every developed society and not worry that my prosperity is built on a mudsill over the less fortunate of the earth, feed myself some cheesy moral double-talk like "I would argue it is unethical not to try and make money" with a hefty side of rationalization, but it doesn't always work.I don't do that, I look at this like a business..like a big Hotel, or a 7--11, like a business.Customers want a product and they pay for that--to the best of their ability.I try to match the product offering to the target customer as best as possible, while keeping my profits as high as I can--like any other business.Unless the Emotional side of this is your gas pedal, (it's not mine) it can burn you out.High initial years cash flow on reasonable down, and good appreciation to me are two different business models that don't have a meeting point.And as a Business Man I try to treat people in a "Rational" "Un-emotional" "Fair" manner, realizing I have the power to do otherwise--but I believe doing otherwise is not a good practice in the long run.Renters like everyone else will always have drama--Class C and D even more--They have the same drama in the Local 7--11 too.

I initially was going to keep it as a rental property, but the market called for me to flip it.
