Mitch,My first round in the rental business my wife and I owned 8 duplexes.

Make sure you use the ones with the round plastic washer on the end.

So, let us begin by discussing the problems with the Fed.I'll fire the first round.

This is a good thread.I have been looking at hard money to but do not like the rates,points,and conditions.I do have private investors like Tony said that are relationship lenders at private money rates instead of hard money.The problem with those it what they will want out of the deal I have yet to determine.They will either want a profit split or a straight interest rate payout.What I don't want is someone micromanaging the flip and getting in the way.I have seen that before and it is a disaster.If you have 3 loans going already I would sell the ones you have first before getting in to deep with more and burning the relationship with your lender.I hope your ARV value is based off the bottom 50% of solds in your area and not the top.You do not want to chase the market down and be stuck in a MUST RENT situation.

I need to go see if I was timed out...The other thing, when at the first page, and click to go to page two, after I read there and want to go back to page two, (or three, or four) I always end up on page one, and have to scroll to the bottom then hit the appropriate page number.

It is round robin or similar so everyone gets more or less equally occupancy?

if they fine me, depending on the amount i won't pay it. if they throw me in jail, i'll be costing them money for some piddly offense and will have a short term. they sure as F*ck won't be able force me to let them live there, i'll make their (tenants) life hell so bad they'll move out on their own real fast. even if i, for some reason, decide to use the eviction process, i'll just start that process the minute they move in. that way, what ever BS time frame can pass and i can exercise it later on my own immediate terms. i'll hide the eviction language in the rental agreement (that they won't get a copy of). bottom line; renters are pieces of sh*t and i'll stop at nothing to ensure they can be thrown out on my time frame instead of after they're done damaging my financial/physical property.

One guy doing the rounds at the moment is Brian Payton - talking about 20% cash flow deals in the US.

Regarding Atlanta,  while the bottom is in the rear view mirror their recovery started almost 2 years after that of the Bay Area and prices have yet to fully recover.

I just completed the first round where my RE attorney who specializes in repping landlords vetted 6 pages of addendum bullet points that I added to my standard application.
