Wheres the 20% coming from?

It's just a seller carry & the seller sells the note.

Are you trolling BP? 0 Chance.

Cmon, pay for insurance or just don't own real estate.

Trying to gain an extra 2-3% ROI and risk your entire principal is just stupid.

Don't be cheap, get insurance.

Hi David, 

Some people honestly do not like jumping through hoops just to go see a property or entertain offers as it just becomes a headache to gather stuff.

On the other hand, if its a luxury property or something worth a couple million, wasting time on non qualified borrowers is something to also consider.

What is the listed price for this property?

Hi Valerie,

Theres a few options you could go about, there are a few investors who can blanket the loans but this is going to be more along the likes of hard money, so increased costs.

I don't think the seller would be opposed to amending the contract and allowing you to close separately (assuming the SFR is a applicable value).

Serious question @Joseph Fenner, I am curious the catalyst where you came up with this whole idea of things. 

Was there some book you read, some class or YT info you drew upon? Where did this notion come from of going from 0 too 167 properties in 5yrs???? 

So here is something I wonder if you ever considered in this venture; what if you really suck at it?       Serious. How many people set out that they want to be, say, a Dentist only to find they really hate it. And in the path of things, they switch, to say being a Pediatrist. 

I am seriously curious what posses one to think there gonna set out to be HUGE, vs setting out to start, try it on, feel things out, focus on the 1 and see where things go from there? 

When I was in HS a new English teacher came and was there for 1 month and quit, during the time he had us read Rich dad poor dad, and ever since that I become hyper fixated like a spark went off, It’s all I think about, I believe anything is possible. Also I don’t have a choice it’s real estate or nothing, financial freedom is getting achieved no matter what, I’m living the lifestyle I want and I need to retire my mom she’s 52 years old and has $2K in her retirement account. Someone has to do it and I’m the only one that is strong enough to go to war with the challenges and get it done. I’m not gonna suck I will be the best because effort beats talent, anything is possible and I will achieve my goals. I don’t have a lot of time I’m about to be 21 I need to be a millionaire by the age of 25. Real estate is very interesting to me it’s like putting together a puzzle in my brain and it’s fun. Real estate is the only option I have. I will be the greatest and nothing will stop me because I am unstoppable. I need to be the first millionaire in my family I promised it to myself, my mom is relying on me and the people that doubted me are watching me. I need to win at the highest level. I’m tired of being poor I can’t live like this for the rest of my life working a 9-5, 2 week vacation a year, horrible pay, all for 60 years of your life. That’s a waste and that is not normal This is prison and I can’t wait for the day I retire my mom it’s gonna feel amazing. She’s gonna have the best retirement and I’m gonna be living the life of my dreams. Young!

 Im sorry, but you really need to enter the real world and get off of the social media motivational videos. You don't even have a job?! Get off of here and get to work, I recommend Sales if you want an opportunity to actually make a lot of money; your goals are not realistic, if you want something you need to put in the work (and then 10x more).

Honestly it’s all about opportunity cost.

If that additional cost is going to yield you more than it costs; then pull the trigger .


If you borrow a down payment, it’s going to reduce your cash on cash return as your mortgage payment is increased.

There’s plenty of lenders around here on BP who could do a great job.

What kind of down payment are you looking to put down?

Do you have US credit?

LTV on foreign national is typically the biggest difference between lenders.

With 35-40% it shouldn't be an issue; are you under contract on this?

Hey ram, this one should be pretty easy to get done.

You’re most likely going to need a 30 year fixed but can do a 5 year interest only term.

That’s how I would structure it
