My thoughts are that rotties, and most breeds of dog are a product of their upbringing as well as genetics.

I offer $180,000 to beat the competition, and the appraisal ends up bringing it back down to $175,000.With about $12,000 of my saved cashed from pretending that I actually had a rent payment, I am able to use an FHA loan to purchase the house.

If it pencils out for you and you know FOR SURE you can do without the money you'll lock up in this property then that's one thing, but I know too many people who follow this path and then need to cash out of the property two years later only to find out that, oh wait, when you overpay for the house to begin with you end up bringing money to the sale not the other way around :( 

I am 26 and my upbringing in real estate sort of came about when I was first introduced to investing and real estate.

People are moving to PCB in droves and the base is building up bringing jobs and people to the area.

My investor ended up bringing very little money to the closing table.

@Juan Contreras typically with BRRR deals you end up bringing some money to the deal.

So if you are refinancing and end up bringing cash to close, make sure you still have enough in reserves. 

It's more involved than most people likely imagine.I have acquaintances who invested in a winery, and they ended up bringing in a very expensive (and experienced) vintner from Europe.

I would like to offer the tenants a lease option, which could end up bringing premium rent from some units.
