I’m about to partner with a friend of mine on a single family real estate deal. The numbers look great and I will actually buying the house from him for his payoff and putting a down payment on it to increase cash flow and get a lower rate. There is one hiccup. I have no Idea how to buy a house without a real estate agent! Any advice or tips to speed this process up or things I need to look out for?

    @James H Webb III so am I understanding that you are going to buy the property from your friend? I assume you both don't want to get an agent involved so that you all don't pay commissions. If this is the case you will need to talk to your lender to figure out what they will need to close. Both of you need to sign a purchase agreement contract and then find a title company to perform the closing. There will be fees but no commission.
