I bought dozens of good, cashflowing, SFR's with portfolio loans right after the crisis, and I spend zero time worrying about about interest rates on the underlying loans because the cashflow is good enough to absorb the few extra dollars of interest after adjustments.Just my opinion though, I am sure there are very good reasons to go the conventional route - I just don't like the process at all and the brain damage it causes me.

Depending on the deal, the buyer pays the agent, or if the offer is good enough, I'll work out something on the seller side.Once you put the word out that you've got a deal, the market responds quickly whether its a good one or a dog.

If the deal is good enough, don't let a bad tax assessment stop you from taking the leap!

No lead-generation company that I know of has ever made this strong of a guarantee because it's so costly to generate such as a hot lead -- they tend to sell a "mixed bag" of untouched web form leads, that are just good enough, on average.Just trying to gauge investor demand here

Using that example you simply didn’t get a good enough deal.If ARV is $220k you need to be all-in (purchase + rehab + holding/closing) for no more than $165k in order to be able to recoup all of your investment on the refinance.

as @Robert G. said you dont have a good enough spread to make much on this deal run the numbers and make the offer according to the numbers you may have to fix the foundation to refinance house  Account Closedfind out who the engineer did the inspection for and said that crack was not a problemi dont know that there would be an engineer in the world that would tell you that crack was not a problem if they were telling the truthplease do not listen to a realtor to come up with a arv especially if it is the listing agentcall several different ones and get their opinion also if 60 is what the numbers tell you to offer then that is what you offer good lucklook forward to talking at next months meetup

First, do you or your family members have good enough credit to get a loan on the property you would buy?  

I ran the numbers with rough and likely mildly pessimistic estimates of total rehab, based on paying $425 total to have it in good enough shape to keep 70% of rent, then assuming loan cost of 6.5% (definitely pessimistic since the last two were around 5% for me), and they aren't all that attractive-  If $425k total in-Rent for $4200 total =$2940/month using 70% rule$2535/month P+I for $340k borrowed at 6.5% for 20 years $1500 insurance plus $2740 Taxes=$353/month for Taxes and insurance$2890 total MTI =Marginal to no cash flow, $7800 per year in paydown- so about 10% on the $80k I have in, Then market gain leveraged X 5- This is the big wild card, and the one where I may be less optimistic than the rest of the crowd. 4% sustained yearly gain would make the whole thing seem really attractive all of a sudden- but I don't see our economy expanding in the middle class enough for this to keep happening for much longer :(a 1% cheaper loan saves only $200/month- still weak sauce cash-flow wise. 

It is a model that makes them money but I haven't seen any deals good enough to make me want to us their loans.

I believe that saying "to make money" is not good enough and not deep enough.
