(I had additional carrying costs from a HELOC, which meant I walked with around $45,000).Aquisition:We found this deal on a wholesalers website who we keep an eye on.

Anyway, I don’t know if this is a dumb question or too vague, but I’ve really enjoyed the Bigger Pockets website and all the info on here.

Well no one is biting probably because I only listed it on the local reia website and everyone is not wanting small towns.

How would you approach the seller to plant the idea of seller financing.Your best bet is to LBO the acquisition through packaging the business into a CDOYou'll take that CDO to private or commercial investors  

I received 15 or 20 offers and most of them were from investors who scouted websites like Zillow, realtor.com, and redfin.

I check the SEC, FINRA, ratings websites for inside information on the principals in the company.

Get a website, rank it #1, make sure it converts.How exactly?

I'd recommend looking at property taxes on county website and comparing this to taxes on closing docs to see if it's been prorated or if it's the full amount. 

On some websites, you can filter by number of units, bedroom, size, etc.

I dont know but for me if I am selling RE the only place I put it is on MLS and my Website.
