You make money 3 ways: cash-flow, mortgage pay down and market appreciation.

Most people might not have the ability to pay 5 to 6 figures a year for that.With Costar it is about residuals. 15 years in the business I do not like contracts and residuals.

There are some requirements with my account on the ability to withdraw regarding how much you can withdraw at once and how frequently you can withdraw.

When you pay all cash there is no 6 month title seasoning wat to get out 80% of the purchase price.You can also come in with a 60% mortgage and a 40% all cash and get a little bit better of a rate and be able to waive escrows if needed.

I think it is great to network and gauge interest for when a deal comes but bring them something before you take money because if you take the money first it is idle and they are getting no returns while it is sitting there unless you can pay some return out of pocket which I am sure you aren't doing because you are using OPM. 

Ultimately, it's about ensuring the property remains attractive to tenants and maintains its market value without pouring money into upgrades that won't pay off.

We could use it for 10 years and then would have to pay it back in the next 10 once that expires.

You are paying an intermediary for marketing and deal flow. 

when your dealing with a borrower with experience...its not wise to control the Construction, Its not smart to smudge HUD's (i took myself, title and attorney days to figure out my closing cost went from 25k to 40k)...later to find out most of it was in fees and paying 12 months in advance of mortgage payments.

Maybe because I've kind of run into this issue with paying people in the past.
