I have been investing in the Las Vegas market for a couple years.

On market with motivated seller - negotiated $175k off list price How did you finance this deal?

Step 2: Narrow down your "buy box" (are you market-indifferent, are you looking for a certain level of cash flow, etc.).Step 3: Connect with real estate agents and begin making offers!

I wanted to help them out and minimize their loss and saw an opportunity to get a property slightly below market because of my commission savings, immediate mortgage and maintenance relief, in addition to keeping a lower short term interest rate How did you find this deal and how did you negotiate it?

I realizing the duplex conversion strategy is more complex I probably wouldn't try it on my first property, just want to get a sense of what's possible in the Chattanooga market :) Thanks!

I stopped buying because the market became too expensive and competitive in my area at the time. 

I do not subscribe to the idea that you should expect negative cashflow UNLESS you want a specific property in a specific market that is more or less a second home situation. 

Here’s our OPINION for the Metro Detroit market (use as a template for your target area!)

Thankfully we are commercial bank clients so our rates are as low as you can get in the market place for anyone who is not Lennar or DR horton or those types.

We bought a 55-unit last year in the same market, a market we've been investing in for seven years.How we found itOur property manager brought us this opportunity (and the three previous as well).
