In time as you build your network and you reputation as being credible you will find people want to do business with you.

I don't have cash on hand, in time to close.

I think you'll find this is a pretty good market to invest in and I'd enjoy chatting with you sometime about what I've learned.

We are using cash flow from the first two properties and regular income to invest in the next one.If we could go back in time and do it over again, I would probably go with getting an owner occupied FHA loan on a 3-4 unit, putting enough down to avoid PMI since that was what we did with our own home purchase.Just my 2c.Kelly

If you're still into this deal....not sure why you would be...but have a chat with the neighbors and try to track down the original owners to get more background on the house and its issues.

Is there a speaker, or do people just sort of walk around and chat?

If you're interested, get in contact with me and we'll at least be able to chat about your strategy and what Phoenix may have to offer you.

Or, if your buyer is not locked up in time, you assign the beneficial interest to your new buyer for a fee and that document gets recorded with the county recorder's office (you can run into transfer taxes this way)

Fellow Van Nuys guy here as well.Good luck with all the adventures.Hit me up if you have any questions or just wanna chat RE :-)
