That’s great information for me to know , cause I’ll find properties all the time that are reo and it will be listed like 72k, and I’ll see that bank captured at 61k I be like let me offer 63k since it’s been on the market for 97 days especially when I can see comps & property near are 85-100k , so I guess if I can get my numbers to work for me as far as what I’m looking for in ROI , & cash flow , if there asking number hits my numbers I should start pulling the trigger on offers

  @CJ M. yes I would buy a deal that cash-flows a couple hundred a month if it was a value-add deal where I could force appreciation and capture some equity and/or there was a reasonable expectation of market appreciation (ie property and/or rents).

What types of work were you able to capture as "material participation"?

They are in the business of rehabbing and capturing that forced equity.

So if you put in say a chef's dream kitchen that's valued at $100K, guess what, you just added this newly assessed value to your tax bill every year.   

This month, I had four new distributions start hitting my accounts, and I can’t tell you the excitement my wife and I had when we saw the totals on the right of our tracker.In this brief article, I’ll outline what my monthly tracking process looks like, and when you can expect to receive your distributions.How I Keep Track of My Investment DistributionsFirst, it’s important to note that each of your operators will likely give you a portal to manage your specific investments with them, but I’ve not found a good online solution to capture all of this information for multiple operators so I’ve created my own manual tracking process.Each time I make a new investment, I capture the investment details in a simple tracker in Excel.

Do you have a full-time job and prefer to be a passive investor >> turkey route Do you want to be hands-on and capture more equity >> value add

Each management company has different pricing model (make sure you capture the tenant replacement fees, if the PM is charging for that).

I like packet captures and studying network protocols.

I was a chef with zero experience fixing up houses.
