I've recently started blogging and submitted my first ezine niche article to increase traffic to my website.

Would one additional property make it increasingly difficult to do so?

Exo,All excellent questions.I find it hard to believe that the larger house will not receive higher comps, and if it does, you will have more value when you sell it due to the increased sq. footage.

From what I am aware of the best way to increase your cash quickly would be by wholesaling properties.

So you will either have to increase rent to about $500 per month or lower the price down, or get a better interest rate or get a 30 year or 40 year mortgage.....And finally your last problem, which might be your toughest hurdle (as i had this problem) Unless you are in good with your banker you will be hard pressed to find anyone to give you funding for such a low amount

My theory in short (abstract from my blog) is this:With a devalued dollar, China and India needing more energy to address their industrial growth, supply and demand ratio increasing on a daily basis - the amount we pump out of the ground is inversely proportional to the demand in the world, a subsidized price that we were paying in the past in the USA (around 90s and early 2000) and Inflation.

It is becoming increasingly more difficult to make $ investing in RE utilizing creative strategies.

That gives you a DSCR of approx. 1.35 (good enough for the bank, not good by Johnny D's standards) and what about when the rate increases cutting into your cash flow and hurting your dscr?

Landlording, as we know, is based more on cash flow principles and the appreciation is gravy.History has shown that over a period of ten years, RE has increased in value.

I do a combination of 2 things to increase the effectiveness of this technique.Leave them a message and say "Hey Jim, I am interested in your For Rent house so I mailed you a letter and you should receive it tomorrow.
