Hellow my name is Raul ,New to real estate, from Houston Texas, work in heavy equipment as a mechanic for 12 years just graduated from carpentry school and was looking to invest in real estate, want to buy and rent .

I am working towards my Professional Engineering (PE) credential in Mechanical Engineering (HVAC focus), which will take another year of work experience and an exam.

This seems like one of those bad jokes about the car mechanic who's personal cars never run well!

As long as the B Buyer understands the mechanics of how the transaction plays out between the title company and the A Seller, they can use the best strategy to get the deal to actual closing.

I think some of the questions to ask a seller would be what big repairs need to be made (like roof, mechanicals, etc), but if you're at the house with the seller you can pretty much see it for yourself.

The mechanics are different, but that's at least partly driven by the need for wholesalers to avoid being an "unlicensed broker".

if you have 900 dollars on a CC, pay it off. carrying a balance on CCs far outweighs most investment mechanisms (ie if you have 1000 dollars on a cc paying 14% interest and 1000 dollars in a cd making 6% interest, how much are you making?

I have an undergrad in Aeronautical and Mechanical Engineering myself.

Yes, I have seen the mechanics and nuts and bolts with a team layout to make your dream work.Sometimes 'the mesage' in any experienced guru/coach has to be translated in a way that is unique to you and at the right time where you are ready to absorb it.   

If the buildings almost need new roofs,mechanicals,etc. then most of your cash flow projection went out of the window.Your 7.5% with deferred CAPEX could become 5.5% in year 1 and 2 because of major repairs.It also depends on how long you want to hold it.
