Quick google search explains nothing on the website, it’s pretty obviously just a ploy to get people to insert their email into his website by delivering this case study on “Astro flipping”.

Joanne, I think this concept just adds too much complexity and inserts unnecessary potential traps.

In a similar vein you could be an agent and insert yourself into some multi-family deals. good luck - Ned

Don't do a cheap tub insert, do a nice tile and accent tile.

I've looked into using them as inserts in local papers r flyers but I'm hoping for a better idea.

Hey all, I've been going out to a local REI meeting and the sponsor included a little insert about earning $$$ if you take title on a property and qualify for a private money loan (presumably backed by this same sponsor/investor) for an age-restricted community where you must be 55 or older.

The way this model is set up, a deal can quickly be analyzed by inserting values on the 'Inputs' tab.

@Karl Kauper If you want to keep it local here are a few options for you in the $200k price range (If you could provide more details on what you're looking for the answers may change a bit)Trenton/Camden NJ- There seems to be a lot of opportunity there but the real $ will come when the areas are further into the revitalization processNewburgh NY- Theres a lot of speculation on when Newburgh will actually "Happen" and become the next (insert up and coming city here) but I have a friend up there that invested about the same amount that you are contemplating and he appears to be doing wellPhiladelphia (Philadelphia outskirts)- Heres another area where people are doing well with a similar budget taxes and laws are very investor friendly as well.If you are looking to use $200k as a downpayment to buy something larger in hope of reaching scale faster then the conversation looks different, Lastly be creative with the budget and explore other options short term rentals and single families are just a few often over looked ways to build your portfolio and to start to collect cashflow

It takes me 5 minutes to insert my new tenant's info into my leases.
