You use some for your down， put the rest in the bank where it will earn interest until you find your flip。

There are government backed incentives to help first home buyers escape the rental market and start putting their hard earned money back into their own property.

We are not trying to be greedy here but it makes the most sense to me to get a nice payday up front, the down payment from the buyer of roughly $30k plus earning about 3% interest on the bank's $170k rather than just 7 -10% on our $30k proceeds from a straight sale.  

., in some states, landlords are prohibited from earning/keeping the interest generated from Security Deposits. 

Also, a future rent increase once the lease is up will be less of a financial burden on the higher income earning tenant than the lower earning income tenant, therefore reducing turnover. 

I have a mortgage on my house and it it just a never ending debt, there are alot of people who have 100k in savings earning .25 percent per month all the while the bank takes that same amount and lends it out at 4-6% I really want to set up a creative plan to let people earn 2% or a minimum 1-4k  per deal with little or no risk.

I want to become a real estate agent but i have no idea where to even begin, or what to say if i am speaking to someone that can help me. i am not asking for anything more than for help on how to get started and what to look/ ask for in order to become an Agent.The reason i want to become an Agent is because i am looking forward into investing most of my money (overall that I have and will be earning in the future) into real estate.

I was truly unable to appreciate this fully until very recently, and thought I'd share some of the incredible advantages that I once took for granted here today:- Ability and comfort to open a bank account, write a check, and manage money online- Ability to obtain a credit card, debit card, and to access ATMs- Ability to prepare a budget and earn a regular paycheck- Ability and comfort with discussing the concept of "investing", much less specifics of real estate investments and terms like "ROI"I'd encourage anyone else who feels frustrated with their current financial position to take a moment and jot down some knowledge or advantages that you've taken for granted.

Surely you can make that extra money work harder than that--that is, earn more than 5%.

I realize that brokers want to earn a commission, and they will push these investments hard.
