I wish we lived in a world where people didn’t want to do us harm but that’s just not reality, and as long as that remains true i will be a very vocal advocate for armed, and trained, Real Estate professionals.

most sellers will lack motivation if their property is not distressed - and you said you don't want something too distressed.

@Brittane Jenkins  A few other somewhat creative ways: 401k loan (if you're comfortable with that), margin account on your stock investments, seller financing for the downpayment (usually has to be done with a business or commercial loan for the remaining part of the loan).

I apply their security deposit first ($1,500) and then charge them for the remaining $2,500 owed.

hi guys,I have saved a 20% downpayment a property but struggling to save the remaining 65K for fixing the property up.Example, the property cost 150K, I saved up 35k, but struggling to save up an additional 65K to do the rehab (my understanding the lender will not give me the rehab money right away, I have to pay my own money to start rehabbing and the lender then will reimburse me in stages the rehab portion)Correct?

Experienced investors often see the holiday season as an opportunity due to reduced competition and motivated sellers willing to negotiate for faster closings.

However, while the owners can remain anonymous, the names and addresses of the managers must be submitted to the state, although this information is not publicly accessible.At this point I’m not certain if I did something incorrectly in the LLC setup, or if the information not being publicly accessible is a falsehood.

MLS. no special negotiations, just found a seller that was motivated.

It's a great idea to put together a single document summarizing the financials remaining properties (which I manage remotely) and teach her about commercial leases.

The U.S. is forming more households than ever, and that trajectory will likely remain the same due to population growth.​​
