My question is, do you submit offers on potential deals and make them contingent on financing and then go find the money after the offer is accepted...hoping you can do that quickly enough?

Make sure you get a formal term sheet to compare apples to apples, don't accept soft quotes. 5.

Ill accept all answers and let me know if you got other questions on my scenario.I just feel like Im at a spot where the options here are endless and I want to  continue building my assets to create family wealth and retire early and enjoy life.

I don't see why the seller would accept such a large haircut only to have the asset sold a few months before.Am I missing something obvious?

There are real costs that new investors don't know and get tripped up.The biggest mistake I see new investors make is making offers on deals that no seller in their right mind would accept. 

For example, a properly executed deed from a now-deceased grantor and recorded a month after death might appear to title as acceptable risk.

I have had PMs put pets in no pet properties and accept a two kid family in a tiny one bedroom.

Affordability is at crisis level in many States, while it is still acceptable in others, mostly the Midwest markets.

HUD recently accepted my offer on a single-family house, and my bid price is 25% less than the market value, making it a great deal.

I may accept a lower return along the way if there's a bigger payoff in the end.
