Taking your own money out and buying another property while maintaining equity in the property you cashed out on.I think overall the numbers have to make sense (and they often do) eg. your mortgage was $1000 before but now it’s $1400 after the Re-Fi, but you are still renting it out for more than $1400, and now you have a second propery bringing in cash now as well.I’m following this thread as I am still learning myself!

It's easy for others to bring negative comments.

As you build a name for yourself, people will start to bring leads to you. 

You could look at bringing in a local JV partner with experience or pay a consultant or fee developer to help you with the numbers and process.This should cost substantial money into the 6 figures usually.

If a buyer uses a “subject to” method to structure a deal, can they bring on a investor to help fund rehabbing etc. ?

You need to analyze what the return on investments would bring.

If they filed Chapt 13, the court makes them pay from the filing date on plus some amount necessary to bring the unpaid rent current over the course of time.

Also consider, there are the 2 new bridge projects getting underway now which is going to bring many jobs to the area over the next 10 years.

Did you have to renovate or evict anyone to bring up the NOI?

If the numbers are accurate it sounds like FSBO would be a better route unless you want to bring cash to the table.
