Using an example that I am currentlylooking at the numbers work using the cents on the dollar/equity method but don't look particular good using the traditional 70% of ARV (After Repaired Value) less repairs method.For example:Purchase price: 150,000ARV: 220,000Repair Cost: 30,000150/220=.68 cents on the dollar100-68=32% equityOR70% of 220,000= 154,000 less $30,000 = $124,000Based on the first method, the deal doesn't look bad, no?

Too bad there aren't more like you.

It's not a bad loan but you have the normal underwriting structure.

I want to make sure I understand what you are saying.In the example with the 13k to 50k in two years time are you saying that was a bad investment period, or just a bad investment for a beginning investor?

I've had bad checks come back as long as 12 days after they were written.Good Luck,Mike

They have bad credit which does not improve and therefore they are never able to buy the property.

the corp and it's assets are liable - not the shareholders, directors, employees etc...that takes TIME to do - because the business must grow it's CREDIT and reputation through STRONG FINANCIAL STATEMENTS.just naming a business and "holding assets" in the name of a business doesn't mean anything, unless that business entity is treated as such - a SEPERATE ENTITY.that's paramount.

From there it was bad.

The secret is don't get into the (BAD) habit of thinking that breaking even is the same as making money.

So, the fact that the landlord did not respond to their offer is irrelevant; she didn't have to.I agree fully with All Cash but should caveat that some states treat things differently.
