Purchase price: $133,000 Cash invested: $3,000 Subject too purchase: $133,000 balance

Real Estate Industry is a great potential for growth and life balance.

I am thinking I could make purchases and pay contractors and then balance transfer to another credit card with a 3% to 4% fee for an entire year. 

You are right, that is always this balance between how much you are going to lose and how much you have to spend to receive that money (hiring a lawyer, file a suit, etc would be way more expensive than the rent itself). 

you wouldn't use hard money at a live foreclosure auction, you would use it to pay the balance left after you pay the deposit (only works if you have a reasonable amount of time to pay the balance off e.g. 14 days).

The details are below:Original loan amount - $237k including VA funding fee, 26 years left on the current loanThe new balance after refinance - $220KCurrent balance - $215k Original Rate - 30 years fixed 3.375%New Rate - 2.75%Amount saved a month - $155I also made it clear that I would like to only close during the first two weeks of the month to try and skip two payments to help save some cash to put away for future real estate investing.

Just received this in my email from AirBnB:We’ve worked hard to find a balance between supporting your hosting business and protecting the well-being of our collective community.

I would run the the numbers and see if you can achieve a cash in cash return yearly of 8 percent per and have a 5 yr IRR 16 percent or higher.

I’ve been looking to refi a property using Fannie Mae small balance program.
