A prudent investor doesn't seek quick riches through shortcuts.

I’m open to either a townhouse or a single-family home, but I’m definitely trying to steer clear of any crazy HOAs that eat into cash flow (you know what I’m talking about!).

I recently came across a property near the international airport that seems to have good cash flow potential.

And mercifully, building wealth is a more important goal than the cash flow, to be sure.

so the title company if they have to pay it is going to be not so nice to the seller. the reality is if you dont do the intent to lien then yes you can get it removed usually though has to be done through the court title company wont take the risk..

If you can rent it for enough to cover the principal, interest, taxes and insurance and still put money in your pocket, plus cash flow on the property you're purchasing, that would be ideal.

My question is, because my agent was involved in showing the home and made offers for us while it was listed (6 months ago) should I go through them or it is okay to pursue this as any other off market property without an agent?
