Jim B. Evaluate my land contract purchase
29 January 2015 | 2 replies
 $150/month deducted from remaining purchase price ($82,000 after down payment)Contract is renewable every 12 months.Renter moves in Feb 16th on a 1 year lease for $1,000/month and is responsible for all utilities.Management is in place at 5% of monthly rent.That basically leaves me with $200/month cash flow before accounting for capital expenditures, maintenance, etc. after $50 is taken out for management expenses.My plan would be to either:-go through with an outright purchase before the first year, or, -shoot for a cash-out refi after the first year term, after (maybe) putting down another $5,000.In either instance, I would probably list it as a turn-key rental property for sale at $90,000-$100,000 and/or continue to rent it long term.Your thoughts?

since I am in many markets I get a ton of these every week and all of them with a little different twist. but the exact same messageI want to buy your houseI am not a realtor and will save you RE fee'sI can pay cash in as little as 3 daysI can close on a date of your choosingI pay all costs.So when potentials on the list get the exact same message 20 times they start to put it together. the subterfuge of trying to make the letter look like its hand written or whatever becomes meaningless in those instances

The rule is very clear that after your first credit pull for a mortgage inquiry, any additional pulls will be lumped in with the first one and should be treated as one pull.No way of guaranteeing thats actually what happens in every instance but I do know thats the rule and I'm pretty sure those credit reporting companies need to stick to the rules.btw: My story on two loans.
