When I acquire an off market property at a good price and want to move it quick, before I even give the public (or even my large private buyers network) an opportunity I look into a shortlist of buyers I have a strong relationship with.

I have a tri-plex that needs a couple more months. a single family in rehab right now, and large duplex.

I personally would prefer underground electrical anyways, was that a large expense for you?

I'm about to do a large letter campaign just looking for deals.

I'm still starting out and don't have large Mounts of cash yet.

(this is a function of $10 cpms x .25-1% CTRsAdwords is pretty targeted and has intent as you can target by zip code and high intent keywords such as "sell my house for cash etc." but it's limited to people searching for those high intent phrases which may not be a large number.

While NYC water bills had gone up $100/month per unit for 2BR in the last ten years, rents have gone up 30%, around $500/month for a 2BR, so I'm not hurting.Oh, I plan to check back with you to see how it went with you as I'm curious. particularly with a large increase like this.

So it's essentially a good-as-gold full expense for tax purposes, but it doesn't hurt you on your mortgage application.So make sure your CPA is aware of these things and is not afraid of the home office deduction.Also, if you have a large non-recurring expense this year, this is worth talking through with your lender.Someone like @Chris Mason could probably elaborate.

I prefer to maximise my leverage, 100% when possible, with a large accessible cash reserve.

  $200-300 might not sound like a ton of cash flow, but that could pay a large portion of your new mortgage on a new house.
