I also use the saved results to continue analyzing my portfolio after purchase once the property is in service.

I recently purchased a duplex in Columbus and discovered after closing that the former owner had an estoppel in place with one of the existing tenants.

My goal has been to go full time into real estate and I have been working as much OT as possible to build more capital.I purchased my first LTR two years ago and the net cash flow is $500/ month.

Tenants on the left were inherited with the purchase several years ago - they had a trampoline set up at that time, and I had my property manager ask them to remove it.

Most 2nd position lenders will want the investor to have skin in the game (invest their own money) AND be paid a double-digit return.When you purchase property, you ALWAYS need to have reserves, but in this scenario, you really need to have reserves since you will need to make 2 large debt payments every month.

However since the purchase is high, mortgage on a 7.12% interest rate for 30yr rate plus HO insurance etc is about $4300 a month. should I follow that 25% rule or not.

Hi,In the home purchase contract we have(I'm in Nevada), it's indicated that seller will pay for home warranty and cover coverage of $600.What happens if I buy a coverage for like $500.

I love a good value add deal but a majority of my properties have been relatively passive with very little repairs needed when I purchased.

Purchase price: $146,000 Cash invested: $18,000 3/2 brick ranch located minutes from Fort Eisenhower where I was stationed in the Navy.

The seller is seller financing me the property with a balloon in 3 years if it appraises for the current purchase price in 3 years.
