To be successful as a real estate investor in any form - except maybe purchasing the Vanguard REIT index fund - an investor needs education, knowledge and understanding of real estate principles, real estate law, and real estate finance.  

Very excited about how well they are doing.. they are not holding but I am helping them make 250 to 400k in cash a year or more by financing thier deals for them.

I have two properties (exact same property just across the street from each other) one is a seller finance that is coming to the end of its contract for balloon payment and the other is a fix and hold Interest only loan that is also coming to the end of its contract for balloon payment.

I found some articles and old forum posts on BP last night that discussed problems with financing and insurance for this arrangement. 

How did you finance this deal?

For instance, if it's a small portion and you indicated during initial intake/application that electrical is updated they wouldn't have any way of knowing. 

One thing he used to do was hand-deliver the application to them so he could see how they kept their house. 

With expiration, there is a maximum CAP for the area so new license applications would be subject to a wait list.

To thrive in real estate investing, you must maintain a firm grip on your finances.

This would be my second purchase in the Pittsburg area. I am partnering with another investor who owns 4 single family homes in that vicinity. I own 4 rental properties and a small strip mall in the Baltimore area
