In the meantime this random house popped up on MLS from another investor looking to liquidate a previous rental.

I have $200k liquid capital now, but think starting with a $100k property would be better.  

Before we paint our interior rooms, we use a mixture of Dawn dish washing liquid, white vinegar and water, particularly if there is grease, food or nicotine stains.

Brand new to this.Live in Aventura FL, looking to buy and rent in the north miami / south broward area.I have around 30k liquid right now which does not buy me much.

The back-end ratio is otherwise known as your debt-to-income ratio - - just how liquid are you?  

If the money has been put into escrow, Fannie Mae not only doesn't get the liquid assets it wants, but it becomes a fiduciary for the life of the money that is in escrow.

The rule is 1 year, which really isn't that long at all considering that you're getting into 4 units with only 3.5% down so that you can put the rest of your liquid cash into 4 or 8 or whatever more units.  

After i buy the building though my liquid assets will drop to <50k and i will have the 210k line fully drawn.

I've liquidated my IRA and have around $30-35k that I am willing to invest in a property.

Also, for the same reason they are more liquid than multis and I can sell them faster if need be.When I buy, there are more properties to choose from.
