Now more than ever, I am seeing offers required to be submitted through a portal where the listing agents want no business being involved with up front negotiations.

Hard money typically refers to a company that has it's own underwriting guidelines, rates (9% - 15%), costs, draw process ect.

One of the first deals I had (multi in an up and coming area) my buyer was paying cash and the deal was solid.  

That's why appraisers do the comparative approach and then secondarily the cost approach.So far, 100% of the time you don't get dollar for dollar back from what I've seen.

If purchasing new real estate as part of your reinvestment, a cost segregation study can maximize depreciation deductions, offsetting future taxable income.For effective planning, assess how the sale price is allocated between real estate, tangible assets, and goodwill, as this determines the tax treatment.

But if your goal is to cashflow positive from the Day 1, you may find it very challenging due to current day interest rates, high cost of construction and the fact you won't have the efficiencies of a seasoned developer building at scale.

To get that $10k yr you are giving up $250k tax free. ($300k has to be earned to net $250k.) so you’re looking 5 years of zero vacancy and zero capex to break even.

Sometimes the trailers I buy do still have titles on them, in which case we either have the seller cancel the title with the DMV before we close, or we have them sign the title into our name, and then we cancel the title ourselves.

@Kathy MerkhLook up to see if they have a nmls number under nmls consumer accessWhat terms are they offering?

That alone can free up so many avenues for you.
