Financing options up to 85% loan to value are available on 1-4 unit properties for an investment transaction.  

I’ve also been thinking a lot about my commission structure, especially for buyer-side transactions.

@Teahjsia Frazier one of the best ways to build a portfolio is to do owner-occupied transactions so you can put down as little as 3.5-5%.If you're single, house-hack by renting out all the other bedrooms - even live in the basement and rent out all the bedrooms to generate as much cashflow as possible.

Hi Brian, I mostly pull Rentometer pro reports and cross reference with MLS and Zillow but I only focus on properties that ACTUALLY rented, not just listings.

The RE law in Ok and Texas clearly states that an LCC employee can find eals and help in the transaction.

For sale by owner transactions were originally created when grandma is selling her home to grandson.

A title or escrow company cannot likely help you since there is no actual transaction happening and we (escrow and title) are only permitted to perform the act of deed prep for transactions, otherwise, it is considered practicing law.Here are a few options to help with the doc prep and recording:https://recordmydocs.com/https://directlegal.com/e-record/http://docstarservices.com/

Or should we just cross our fingers that we don't have any issues with them that would take us to court?

You also will want to find an area that is very transactional.

These are things you can see on the front end before you even see the property in person.Red flags that you could discover later once involved in a transaction include difficult tenants and major issues with the property.I wish I had known to start sooner!
