I planned to attend just so I could exercise the money back guarantee.

Some surprises sometimes pop up in figuring this out.You can find a sample HUD1 document to get an idea of various line items that can be charged at settlement.

I have two properties, a duplex and a SFH - so three units, and I've been doing it for about 18 months.What I've found so far - and admittedly it's a small sample size - is that there is usually some additional investment needed after buying the property in order to get it up and running.

Buy with a lease/option, fix it up, find a buyer, then exercise your option and resell right away.

Can anyone tell me:What to provideHow it should lookShare a sample with meTell me if I need to provide them with amounts they paid in taxes and insurance?

My tenant buyer has exercised their option to purchase but the appraisal came in low.

First, let me throw out there that everything I've been saying has been a thought exercise -- I've never partnered on a long-term buy-and-hold and I'm not sure I ever would; I'd much prefer to borrow money at 10-12% than partner given that it's *generally* cheaper to do so for me.

In a "lease option", there is an option to purchase - that option can either be exercised or allowed to lapse; as a result, there is no obligation to make the purchase.

What about property management, investment property specialty, short sales/REOs, creative skills applied to web site design for brokerages, wow them with your sample marketing materials?

It wasn't a huge sampling, but social media was the hardest to give up.
