Need to get on the Charleston Real Estate Investor Fb page! 

With higher interest rates cap rates have expanded and the property is no longer worth that higher price, but some owners are still hoping to get that high price. 

We've reached the point where there are now more gurus selling their get-rich-quick crap than there are properties for sale in America. 

But I have to get to know you first.

Hi @Arthur Tolentino Congrats on getting things rolling. 

Quote from @Jim Rhubart: Looking forward to learning from this amazing group and one day providing other newbies some great info to help them get going in their real estate journey!

So you can have $5M in equity but if you have zero income then they will not give you a loan.A private lender may provide financing but its owner occupied so that gets thrown out.If you are over 55, you could get a reverse mortgage - that is really your only other option. 

Definitely look into places you can get to quickly such as St.

When your buying drives up if they can eaisly get to the building site by driving and not bush wacking it will help..

If there is something going on that is making you fearful then you may want to get law enforcement involved.
