Your calculations right now are factoring in getting x amount of your money out of each property in order to keep growing. 

You giving the seller this $100k in exchange for $125k off your debt, means you made a $25k return on your extra $100k.

Haha - this made me laugh.

@Thomas Murphyevery step is tough - you have to find a distressed property, usually off market, where you can boost the ARV significantly via the rehab; you often have to beat out other investors to get the deal; you have to have a quality contractor lined up and ready to go; you have to manage the rehab to make sure it's done on time, and that things are coordinated properly if people / contractors don't show up or come out of order; you have to take care of / maintain the house and the property while it's being rehabbed; and then you have to hope it appraises where you need it to.good deals are hard to find, good contractors that are available are hard to find; materials are still expensive; rates have gone up; cash out refi is now a lower amount with a longer seasoning period; etc. 

So yeah theyre going to sit in escrow until mediation, arbitration or court order directing them otherwise.

What made you interested in investing in this type of deal?

I had a list of like 15 questions I made people fill out before scheduling a showing.

Made an offer and he accepted on the spot.

Only one I know about that seems to have made it work I guess.
