I found out about BiggerPockets from a real estate friend who owns multi-family rentals in Utah.My GoalsRegarding my real estate goals, I'm currently toying with the idea of parachuting into a city this summer for perhaps three months and slamming some flips.

My two recommendations are Getting to Yes and Bargaining for Advantage.

We have toyed around with the idea of moving to west palm beach (my uncles live there) we feel that there is a lot more opportunity down there.

tiny village in ohio:seller wants 20k. told him can't do that much, afraid market won't bring it. would be  much lower. but i still put some feelers out and suggested 35k price. someone messaged me saying they want it for 20k cash. i don't have any contracts in place yet. thinking maybe these guys might know each other since this is a small area and they might be trying to toy with me. but if the buyer is legit, i want him to put the $20k in escrow until i can do a double closing. if all goes good, i might need transactional funding but those fees... that's a big chunk of the money.i just don't want to be stuck owning the property if these guys are playing me.what would you seasoned folks do in this situation?

@Jeremy Hunter, I'm toying with a few different options.  

We hired an attorney, with great Yelp reviews, and made it clear we wanted a "pit-bull" and instead ended up with a " Toy poodle" who we suspect he is just milking us for fees and colluding with the HOA attorney.

They spend huge amounts of money monthly on things they insist are essential to daily life which the more conservative older generation know are only toys.

Your big box stores tend to be higher priced then other distributors so I would shop around, but be careful of the deals that are to good to be true with low quality imports and fiberboard toys.  

@Filipe PereiraSell you toys if its that worth it.Use a Heloc.Get a 0% introductory credit card.

I've seen someone get a HELOC with the intention of buying a rental, then end up with paid off cars, big toys, and their house under water... which is being rented out at a heavy loss since they had to move TRAP.
