The Wealthy Gardner by John SoforicPersonally, I have a budget that allocates category percentages.For a "Rainy Day Fund", I believe referring to an emergency fund.

A 190K house for $750 is definitely in the "too good to be true category". 

It is assumed by the state that any rental larger than a 1 bedroom will fall into this category at some point because of the anti-discrimination laws that prevent landlords from refusing a family because they have a child.

There have been numerous people on BP talking about how they paid application fees but they could never get their loans closed on any deal brought to the company.

I have also represented folks on both sides of the deal numerous times. 

I took my inspection report and for a couple dollars had a VA put every item into categories of possible repairs / preventative maintenance such as water, electrical, safety, cosmetics.

The reason I didn't do anything with it was because I wasn't sure how to determine which stage of the process they were in (behind, pre, foreclosure, RIO...) and who to approach at the various stages.Also it seems like investors fall in to one of two categories: mom and pop small-scale (such as myself... thus far) and mega-investors managing thousands of leads, using VAs and spending tens of thousands on marketing. 

I’ve come across numerous times being tied up in avg deals cost me a great deal

I have tried numerous services, all woefully deficient. 

It shows that once you're so experienced and have several people in your network you can branch out to other categories of real estate.I'm moving to East Lansing for grad school and am very interested in investing there as I have lived in the Midwest before and like the opportunity for cash flow in a lot of areas out that way.
