Spend a little more money than you might have been planning to, buy in a better area (i.e. not a “turn key” 100k house off the mls), and self manage.

Hello All, I have a client asking if they could buy a portfolio of 5 properties (at a "packaged deal" rate) and sell off two of them to recoup some of the initial down money needed to buy them. 

Years go by and eventually Grandpa gets tired of fixing porches, nailing gutters and steam cleaning carpets that 'have a couple more years in them. 

In Pittsburgh it’s the only way to buy rentals haha!

I work in Potomac, MD, and would like to buy a condo or apt that I can easily commute and live in, and then eventually rent out, and then buy another. 

That being said, I don't have the information I would need to say for certain, but that sounds as if that's a high price for the asset you're considering to buy.

Great buy!

My mum currently lives there, she is 80 and not very well, but you would also become a tenant in common and as such if you had the time you could profit 100% from the transaction, as I need cash urgently and am willing to heavily discount the asset.I am wondering if there is a market out there where someone wants to get a foothold in the London market by buying my part of the property.

Could happen but very rare. #4 See everything you plan to buy in person.
