Yeah, there are a lot of factors to consider - like:- what your price range is- what strategy you're using to pursue properties- how much debt you can manage- how well each individual property cash flows- how persuasive you are- how hard you work- ...and a lot more.

well that's different then :-)If you can afford $5k down plus all closing costs, you could still be very persuasive at 0% interest and whatever your moat favorable terms are.

In my opinion, read a book on the principles of persuasion (robert cialdini) and books on negotiations, and you may be able to come across a deal you can obtain with creative financing.

She must not have been very persuasive because he signed the deal that same day.

People from all political persuasions go on my tours so it’s not a Democratic or Republican or Libertarian thing.

The association was defunct and there was no way the association's documents would ever be updated to reflect this.ANOTHER thing to be aware of is this: There is case law from New Jersey (not controlling in your state, but can be used for persuasive purposes - so may actually be relevant) that basically says an HOA has limited resources, there might be times/occasions when the HOA doesn't have enough money to pay the bills, it's reasonable for the Board to make judgment calls on which bills get paid and which bills do not get paid, and the unit owners elect the Board to make these judgment calls so the unit owners only remedy (as long as the Board is not acting in a totally irrational and unacceptable manner - as far as the court is concerned) is to elect a new Board - unit owners can't sue Board over their decision on what bills to pay.THEREFORE, while the association documents may say what the Board is doing is not allowable - in practical terms, it very well may be allowable....

Hey Everyone,I'm 25 years old, and am highly experienced in MLM's, Sales, and every other form and art of persuasion. 

We have enough money saved to pay cash, but most of what I have read on BP rather persuasively argues for using leverage.

Maybe you need to work on persuasion skills.
