The previous tenant, like all tenants, had banged up the place.

He’s like that uncle at Thanksgiving who bangs the table and swears one simple rule will change your whole life.

Speaking past theory, and in the real world 99% of buyers have no idea what the price is and the realtor's abilities to seize the emotional disarray is what actually makes it sell.

Those habits will have you ready to pull the trigger on a smart first deal instead of just learning in theory.

How important is cash flow and COC return now if my plan is to use my own money to pay them off,  My theory is with the amount of interest i will save on the loans by paying them off early i will be saving.  

It sounds good in theory, but the math doesn’t hold up.The idea: Convert your mortgage into a 1st lien HELOC.

Apples to apples, Conventional typically offers a marginally better deal than a DSCR from a bang-for-the-buck perspective.

Hi Eric,The cheapest/most bang for your buck softwares in my personal opinion are:- Batch Leads for pulling lists and skip tracer (2 in 1 software, $100 per 10k contacts)- Readymode Dialer ($200 a month) *Can call yourself or hire VA's for $4-6 an hour (I use Readymode Dialer with 3-4 VA's personally)The absolute best skip tracer is IDIData but is very pricey with an annual plan.

That’s awesome you’re already planning ahead — having a clear timeline for your first rental makes a huge difference.You’re doing the right things with books and podcasts, but one thing I wish I knew earlier is that theory only gets you so far.

In a deed theory state like OH, it's tougher to get the property back.
