It’s common for lenders to have minimum loan amounts (i.e. $50k, $75k); however, there are lenders out there that don’t have any minimum amounts.

Hello, I am new to the forum, and new to REI, flipping, etc. I have done research, read books, talked to a few experienced individuals, but have never done any of this myself. I have a ton of questions as a beginner, ...

I've talked to a number of out of state investors and the common theme is that there aren't that many good property managers in CLE and that they were cashflow negative with them.Questions:How many properties and how long have you had them?

Yes it's not that common in my market for 100% of earnest money to go hard until you reach the 8 figure level which we aren't playing in yet. by having a portion of ours go hard at the end of due diligence it put more credibility on us as buyers.Originally posted by @Theo Hicks:@Hunter Jones I like the earnest deposit strategy.

@Jarrod Murrell this is a very common issue. 

Duration for 12 months, or whatever is common in your market, and at the new monthly rate.

I also have buyers for you if the deal makes sense 

It depends on where you live but enough for the down payment plus one of the most expensive repairs you can think of like a roof repair or minor foundation issues if you live in a place where this is common.

But in flat to falling market values, it doesn't make sense for them to buy the house.National averages, most tenants never by.

I have a common scenario I follow:100k @ 5% is 536 a month PI.
