I would love to just buy 2-4unit properties with the money as down payments but i don't want to lock up his cash for the next 30 years which would require a cash out REFI and thats betting that enough renovations have been done to provide the money, i estimate on a 150k property it would take me about 10 years to pay him back his. 20% down payment at 10% interest (this being done using my cash flow ) this situation doesn't seem ideal to me...

I've temporally pulled 3 platform's investments from our site.

(AmendsArticle VII, Section 14(B))Here's the link to see them in their entirety: http://legis.la.gov/LegisDocs/election2014/amendme...My thoughts:3- It states 3 parishes, including EBR, already use an agent (online platform) so it shouldn't make a difference there, but it could change the smaller parishes' process, or not-- some may not make any changes. 10- This seems great, compared to how it currently reads.

These would be your best bet for a good cash flow property with as little down as possible.Goal of Investment - What is the single most important factor?

I'd bet that the answer is the vast majority.

It's also unlikely, that had an experienced investor inspected the house themselves, they wouldn't have found the problem either.And for home warranties, You bet!

Search engine optimization (SEO as it's called) is a specialized field, and few people, even among those who do it for a living, do it well.Probably your best bet is to use Google Adwords and/or Yahoo Search Marketing.

Betting on appreciation and future rent increases is simply speculation.Mike

There is no way to determine how much a broker/lender earns because as the other poster has indicated, there are several ways for a lender to earn his/her livelihood...Junk fees, YSP and SRP are just a few ways lenders generate income per loan...Further complicating this issue is the current disclosure laws in place; brokers are required to disclose YSP, while lenders do not have to. 4.5% is ridiculous regardless of loan size; I bet your current broker loves you!

In particular I need a PM solution that will let us manage the portfolio if we want to use in-house staff (PM division) or if we want to work with an external firm that is open to suggestions for software platforms.
