The higher rates have somewhat slowed down the "get rich quick with no money down" crowd as financing is more difficult, but I still see a lot of new investors with serious cash or purchasing power.

The city can be super slow to approve permits and it being in a historic district could make it drag even longer.

Looking for input regarding the pros and cons of withdrawing from a TSP (= govt 401K) plan that is just sitting to use to purchase an investment property.

While the first half of 2023 was slow, in the second half of the year, the sales volume gained enough momentum to catch up on the loss by increasing by 25%.

Maybe bankruptcy, maybe slow courts or laws over Covid, maybe owner missed a payment and started paying again, but one payment behind, maybe trying to do a workout, maybe some environmental hazard with the property that they want to take ownership of it.So that would be the first step....find out who owns it.....individual or LLC or now in lender name.   

Your transaction was not the norm, anytime you get lawyers involved to draft things, things tend to slow down. 

Slow and steady has won the race for thousands of years, and that didn't change with the advent of social media.1.

If your just looking to start slow and have 10-15k or even 5k id say just try and land a deal in that price range.

It's going to feel like you're going nowhere for the first year or two or three...slow and steady still wins the race.

Be quick fire and slow to hire.Meet them face to face.
