Potato potato(e)...

These are what I like to call recycled product, which usually has a 5 - 8 year shelf life or in better terms the game of hot potatoes- who or which investor is getting stuck holding the bag.

To be honest, having a nice car might make you look like the slick infomercial type investor and a seller may hold that against you.If I was selling a property and you had a potato sack full of cash I wouldn't care if you rode in on the back of a monkey.Good luck

With this many years in the business, you tend to know a lot by osmosis.

Just be wary that playing spreads in such a market is often like a game of hot potato.

The apts were the meat and potatoes.  

I'll get straight to the meat and potatoes.

Seller carry is not an option.I need the real meat and potatoes 

I'm still learning, but I think my meat and potatoes will be investing in 6 flats.

You need some way to secure the investor's money.If you're not using any other financing, offer them a 1st position lien.Then again, as has been said, it may just be too "small potatoes".
