Hi Heather, plug into a few of the many REI events in the Houston area. There is practically one every night of the week somewhere.

After 6 or 12 months you should be able to get it financed. If you have good W2 income then conventional may be the better (cheaper) choice. Otherwise contact local portfolio / commercial lenders. Commercial lenders may not care as much about the seasoning depending on your financial condition.

As a side note, if you want access to your cash it's best not to use cash for purchases. Use HM, private, or commercial lenders that can close quickly. It will cost you more, but it frees up your cash for other deals. You can always refinance out to a long-term loan - especially if you have good W2 income. Search on BP the BRRRR strategy.

Thanks. We'll review.

That kind of experience is typically going to come from a relationship instead of an impersonal e-mail blast. It's the wholesaler calling their A list buyer before ever sending an e-mail. It's possible to get them, but it requires a lot of netWORKing. 

I'm not offering sellers financing, but this deal would work well to sell as owners financing.

Jonathan,

There are numerous REI events around Houston that do exactly this. Specifically to beer, there is one held at the Saint Arnold's Brewery. I usually go to that one, but this time it falls on the same date as my event in Sugar Land.

Queue the music - God Save the Queen!

I hope to never have this problem, but I'll check this company out if I do. I've seen a few other investors deal with honey bees so it must be more common that I otherwise would have thought. 

One video I saw was of the beekeeper standing unprotected in the middle of a massive swarm outside a house I almost bought. He said because the bees had been removed from the home they were looking for a new home and less defensive. I was just thinking - "I was in that house!"

Thanks @Fred Heller
