Outside of portfolio loans (great option), here are a couple other options for growth:Raise private money to purchase dealsPay down the mortgage on one property with the snowball method.

To suggest or infer that if OOSI didn't come in and buy these properties that they would somehow majestically be better taken care of and the quality of the blighted neighborhoods would improve is just silly.  

It's not only determined by the number of units available but by the quality of property managers already in the market and how you can differentiate yourself enough to attract the business.How to generate leads?

This gives you an idea for the quality of the underwriting.

I realized, I dont have a method for tracking my expenditures.

A better method is to be added as an authorized user on a well aged credit card account that has low usage and perfect payment history.

A better method than using percentages in my opinion would be to total up everything you think the property will need to have replaced during your hold period for example 1 roof, 2 water heaters, 2 floors, 2 furnaces etc., 1 driveway, 1 porch, 20 windows... whatever Capex you anticipate doing while you own it, and total that up then divide the number by the number of months you plan to hold and use that as your Capex allocation instead of a percentage of rent.

It won't surprise anyone to know that there is a fair amount of hyperbole out in the media these days.Fortunately, NY lawmakers have not mandated (yet) the method of payment or lease terms that landlords must accept as part of running THEIR business.So, for example, I only offer M2M leases, and the local HA requires a year lease to issue vouchers. 

I look forward to hearing about everybody’s experiences on this method of REI.

I still believe CA will have quality tenants comparing to other states. i have to start my journey on the investment.Where do you invest in OOS?
