Over the long 20+ year pull with dividends reinvested an SP 500 index fund will return ABOUT 10% so when I see things at least in the low teens I usually start nodding my head.  

We were able to get a loan through a local credit union that was able to keep the rate low (though it was an ARM).

Some people may disagree, but I would much rather give the guest $10 off their cleaning fee than have a low review. 

Your insurance number also seems very low and I would check that with several agents.The maintenance sounds very low.

in my area i'm looking at a cheap foreclosed lot with a burned out house needing removal. coincidentally I just saw an ad for low (ish) priced custom houses, available for 0 down if you have land.the way I see it, it's just finding numbers that work (thank you Bigger Pockets) can I get the land cheap?

With our budget and saving plan established I began investing in low cost index funds.

Thing is all that these con-artists face is white collar prison when caught, for maybe a few years, so they get to keep all the $ they hide and spend a few years in a low rate federal hotel, whoop-dii-dooo.

These look like pretty good deals, with the obvious exception being your rehab numbers -- those are crazy low, unless you are just throwing in paint and new flooring, in part of the house only.

Ez and low capital =high chance of failure. 

Not sure how my business is going to go this year but assuming I have $2k month self employment income, no debt, $50k cash reserve, and an excellent credit score...What is the likelihood that I will qualify for a mortgage?
