"OK Mr Smarty pants Chris, why don't I just pay extra from month one to get it paid off in <20 years?!" 

no.the lender can offer financing to varying loan to value ratios.the seller may carry back a second mortgage

Hi all,I am completely new to real estate aside from doing some manual labor for some extra cash here and there.

A Solo 401k is typically faster to setup than an IRA LLC and carries many advantages over the IRA.

If you are "not using your insurance" does that mean you are not carrying general liability on this job, and therefore the investors could be held liable if you or one of your workers was injured on the job?     

@Pratik P.If you can find a seller willing to carry back a 2nd mortgage then you get buy with less than 20% down payment.

When they walk  in with some deal, the first thing to recognize is that you're talking to someone who has made a bogus business contract not having the intent to follow through to the letter of their contract nor having the ability to carry through.

So, it's hard to make a comparison.Were it me, I'd finish the flip, payoff my home, get a heloc on the primary and start looking for the next project.Selling the foreclosure will generate $150k before carrying & closing costs.

In the end, I never had to move or sell my house, I kept most of the rental property (for some reason she didn't think they were worth much or didn't want to deal with them), and was used to living on almost nothing, so once it was all over, it was like all of a sudden having a large amount in extra cash each month because it wasn't being spent immediately upon hitting the bank account. as a result of maintaining a level headed relationship with my ex however, we didn't need to liquidate or sell the business we still have (as our lawyers were trying to convince us to do)... hopefully in the end things will become very good for you also.   

What economic factors must be present to carry on business in our economy, land or Fords?
