same is true for any new Trader Joe's, Whole Foods, or if there's an area that has recently seen a number of new fast food chains enter the marketplace. 

Just some interesting food for thought.

He sounds like a professional who knows how to run his business and does not have an "employee" mind-set.If I had a project that I was able to baby-sit, I'd be willing to pay by the hour. 

Yeah baby!!!!

If the mess is not just untidy, but old food about and things that invite pests and even unsafe conditions, you should take pictures.

Lots of potential and food amenities in a 4star school district.We have a HML willing to work with us and are estimating about 60k in rehab.We are looking for potential partners for this deal in order to come in at a reasonable offer price on the contract.Seller is requiring proof of funds which we have obtained but based on the loan amount were coming up a little shy on the purchase price.Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated on where to go from here!

Be a Bird Dog for awhile until you figure it out, then climb the food chain to be a wholesaler, then Buy-FixUp-Rent/Sell.3.

I think they just aren't talked about quite as much because cash flow is what puts food on the table.Just running a quick example through my spreadsheet:$100k purchase, $1100/mo rent, $2400/taxes, $600/yr insurance, $1500/yr maintenance, paid in cash yields 7.64% return on your cash or $7,644/yr of cash flow.

That said there is the issue of funds, I am at the moment unable to show my commission from my full time job as income (until taxes for 2015 are complete), and between a new baby, the purchase of my own home, upcoming wedding and 3 moves in the last 3 years my savings is to say the least taken a hit, which is why I am coming to BP for help, this is after all the home for "Buying with no or low money down"! 

Hi community, As you can see from my profile picture I'm a baby when it comes to real estate, I've bought and sold a few houses in the last 10 years but nothing significant to even go into any details.
