Finding Deals - How It's Done

Go with the Finding Deals and "Buy Off Market", using "Subject To" selling on "Lease Option" (BOMSTLO) format.  No property manager needed, no repairs or mantenance.

The cash flow is great and you get the "down payment" up front. 

Columbus OH & Indianapolis IN are great markets for this (Not TX or WA) but try MS, AL, AR, even LA, GA & FL. If you want help on the (BOMSTLO) method, leave a question and let's get going. You could do this in TN, NC and FL and it'd work there too.

Without (BOMSTLO) "Buy Off Market", using "Subject To" selling on "Lease Option" (BOMSTLO) , You're working too hard. ;-)

Folks in CA & San Diego, Socal, have no idea what they are missing and they are overthinking things too. Things you need to know and are taught if you are interested. Ask your questions.
