In my experience, financing fix and flips can be challenging if you do not have a solid insurance company.

Buying properties in solid and well established locations2.

Looks solid, congrats!

Hey Robert - Condos and apartments can be a solid entry point due to lower purchase prices and potentially lower maintenance responsibilities, especially if the HOA covers exterior upkeep.

congrats, thats solid cash flow!

If the tenant has a reasonable explanation and a solid plan on how to recover we will work with them.You are asking the right question: how are you planning to pay double rent next month?

Flexibility in lease terms can be a big selling point.Hope this gives you a solid starting point!

I also converted a trust deed that was current (not defaulted), and I converted syndication investments that were solid. 

That kind of shoot-from-the-hip approach can be fun for a minute, but it usually ends up like my old buddy Rick’s first deal.. he bought a distressed fourplex in Tucson years back without a real plan, and while he eventually turned it into a solid monthly cash flow, he spent the first six months sleeping with one eye on the tenant ledger, praying the HVAC wouldn’t bail on him after a hot desert day.

Unless you have cash backing of your own to buy and a solid commercial buyer's list, these deals are unlikely to close.It doesn’t matter if I agree or disagree with the answer the responding poster provides.
