@Luis Montanez , i started in early 2009, but most of them came within the last two years. lots of people shoot for houses below 40k that rent for around $900. those are not available in my area (i just stick to two suburbs) and i pay up to 80k for rents that do not go above $1200. those are not great numbers for some people, but my houses great quality and my tenants and my neighbors are all happy.i do not use private money, i just saved up really quickly and had enough to get #10 at the end of Feb (downpayment around $21k, rehab, around $25k (and going arggggh) and get this one (downpayment around 19k). i knew the tenant was staying so that's the reason to buy it. had it been empty, i would not have the cash to buy, update and rent.

Shoot me an email at my address in my signature or a direct message on here and we can chat more.

I plan to buy and hold (MFH and SFH) and have the funding, and life experience to be able to get this going and enjoy myself being a dirtbag rock climber.Feel free to contact me with deals, to share your experience, or even if you just feel like lunch and shooting the breeze.

I've pretty much decided I'm going to shoot for a compromise in my contract: contractor provides an approximate week-by-week timeline for the project, correlates the draws to the work to be done each week, with large budget items e.g. hvac, appliances, foundation work, etc limited to their own draws; that shouldn't over complicate things too much, it limits my risk, and doesn't force the contractor to pay out of pocket.

Most will try to shoot you down before they will give you a number, but be persistent and they'll give you a ballpark number.The insurance provider I'd start with is the one currently holding the policy.

Because the appraisal was before amt improvements were made(around 6k in improvements), im not sure what I should shoot for.

I'll shoot you a message with some good groups I used to attend regularly there...

Feel free to shoot me a private message if you have any further questions.

I shoot for as soon as possible.
