So whether the deal is owner financed, cash or some other terms the CAP rate is the same.Now, if you ask 20 different people to compute the CAP rate you'll probably get 20 different answers.  

My typical tenant does not have a computer at home & they don't have a bank account.I have less than 10 doors paying rent each month & so far, like @Pete T. noted in the other post, I've yet to find a better, more stress free option than the going to my bank & depositing the money themselves.My bank provides online copies of the deposit slip, allowing me to confirm which unit & when it was deposited.

My grandparents and mom would be so happy that this house that had been so full of love and amazing memories was renovated and offered an opportunity for a new generation to make memories in. 

I can fix computers but am pretty much useless with anything else), and I'll be working full time while flipping, so I think it will definitely make more sense for me to get a good GC to take care of the renovation work.

Can I deduct my business expenses as a real estate investor (car, office expenses, business meals, computer, etc) outside of the profit/loss sheet for each property (interest, depreciation, maintenance)I have a full time job so my understanding is qualifying as a real estate pro to overcome the 25K loss limit is near impossible, so can i deduct regular business expenses outside the actual property expenses (to maximize deductions).  

You basically put in how much rental income you brought in, they compute the tax amount and you agree and pay online.  

But when a couple gets home on a Sunday afternoon after going to 7 or 8 open houses....having 5 flyers printed off a computer in their hand, and the 1 or 2 professionally done pamphlets in their hands...they are going to subconciously look at all those and remember the professional flyer/pamplet houses better than they remember the ones with no flyer or a one page bad looking printout.  

Also I didn't know anyother way.This was the most killer point in the entire thread:A common theme seems to be out of state investors buying cheap houses, doing $5,000 cosmetic "rehabs", renting them out, bragging about the positive cash flow for awhile and then BANG, a few months later they are back on BP, screaming bloody murder and complaining about the leaking roof that has caused a ceiling to collapse. and then we have Big @Ben Leybovich , piling on, pointing out the smeared lipstick on our $30k pigs, dancing on the dead carcass of the out of state investor, and "P r o b a b l y" wagging his "I told you so" finger at his computer screen, and grinning ear to ear as he pats himself on the back for being right again.  

A Rose by any other name would smell as sweet" William Shakespear, Romeo and Juliet.Younger people getting into real estate who haven't learned real estate and won't, have a hard time with conceptual-logic, maybe computer games cause that, I don't know, they don't seem to be mastering the game of chess either.

It was later that he confessed that he could not live in the home due to memories.
