The Do's and Don'ts of Rental Arbitrage and why I think it is one of the best strategies RIGHT NOW for those getting into real estate for the first time, especially with today's rates and market.

Houses are cheap because supply is more than demand.

It's no surprise there is a close to 90% annual fail rate in the industry.

Email will be the cheapest but worst conversion rate since its so passive and easy to ignore.

Their bond rating just got upgraded this week and is now rated Baa2 by Moody's which puts it in "investable grade" territory.The city is also appreciating rapidly but you can still find cash flowing deals if you understand the market.I could go on and on.

I financed this deal with a hard/private money loan that was at 90% of purchase and no points, no appraisal, no fees, with a 14% interest rate.

The variable interest rate went from 5.25 originally (not bad) to between 8.5 and 9% now, meh.

The latter will have higher interest rates whereas the former has a 2% interest at my local credit union. 

Also- I just turned it on and nothing has changed in my rates.

If the contractor-partner is handling all reno and construction part of the property, only his crew get paid the usual hourly/daily rate and we split the material cost?
