Haven't posted much because I've been able to find just about everything I need on the site already.Here's my situation - and I can't seem to find anyone posting a similar issue previously.Sale price: $98KSeller agrees to pay 2% of closing costs: $1960Seller agrees to pay my half of transfer tax (1%): $980Total credits from seller: $2940Net price after credits: $95KI ended up for the first time in a situation where we didn't get the HUD-1 the day before (I have purchased/refinanced my own homes several times over the years and always had it at least the night before).

If you are asking for 60-65% ARV, have the contractor's budget and schedule that can be reviewed in detail, and have an appraisal that shows the numbers all match up, then it's probably something I'd consider.No track record would require a lower LTV, and a proven track record in similar homes in the same area may allow for a higher LTV.

Should be owner financed purchase, my money on the rehab, numbers in line (65%+/- less repairs) with low money costs on a $350k+ house.Back in the day I used to pull a lot off my newspaper ad, I imagine the web would be similar, but these days its pretty rare for the homeowner to have any equity around here, so the better deals are from banks, hedge funds, other investors, etc. so knowing people works better than letters and signs for me.

I had an issue several years ago when I was in the Air Force where an Airman had a very similar dog living on base, which the housing authority did not permit.

A PUD (Planned Unit Development) could be attached (similar to a duplex) or detached (like a SFR, but often smaller or closer together).

Property values in the middle of the most densely packed zip codes (I'm focusing on 3 or 4) seem to be pretty similar when you look at price per square foot and some of the other metrics.

I'm traveling in Colorado for business with only an iPad a the moment, so I think I'll get a spreadsheet app and try a full blown analysis similar to the great write up J Scott did: http://www.biggerpockets.com/renewsblog/2010/06/30/introduction-to-real-estate-analysis-investing/Maybe the numbers are on average lower than the 50% rule and it would cash flow $300+.Some questions on general baselines you like to see:What cash flow per unit works best for you, that you've found?

I am actually in a similar situation.

This is similar to calling the For Rent numbers but a little more expansive.

Similar to flipping but really just changing the category.
