Estimated Market Value: $290,000 to $330,000One of the most satisfying aspects of this investment is that the duplex is now operating at break-even, and we managed to secure it at a 10% discount below market value, showcasing the value of strong relationships and strategic decision-making in real estate investing.This deal exemplifies the importance of being adaptable to market conditions and leveraging existing networks to uncover hidden gems in the real estate landscape.

I got couple properties in Texas but I can tell you with this interest and mortgage landscape it's hard to find a property which will cashflow with 20% down.

I run my entire "empire" using Excel/Sheets for tracking expenses, Apartments.com for online payments, MysmartMove for credit/background checks, DocuSign for electronic signing, and Zillow & turbotenant for posting up listings.

Currently in the phase of buying my first property and needed some clarification if I’m getting screwed or not I’m in Rome, Ga and that is where I’m purchasing the home it’s a flip that was a 3 bed 1 bath but has been flipped into a 4 bed 2 bath the asking price is $214,900 originally 230k but the seller wants a quick sell my agent told me we should give them the asking price and ask for them to pay 5k closing close I wanted to ask for 190k and same closing cost but agent said they wouldn’t take us serious so I agreed to agents terms as I’m signing paperwork electronically I see closing cost is 17k since seller is paying 5k brings it down too 12k but being in Georgia I am approved for Georgia dream which covers closing and some of down payment now when I sign at closing I have to pay 6k I’m wondering why is closing 17k my friend bought a property his closing cost was only 10k granted he bought his property for 189k but I feel like my agent isn’t really trying to get me a good deal should I back away from this property, find a new agent, go through with this purchase, or am I getting screwed in the process?
