Due to the nature of the deal being an off-market cash deal and from a wholesaler, negotiations were slim and quick.

@David HarmanRead and researched quite a bit , I have a fairly decent idea of what I need to buy for the numbers I want but it's pretty slim pickings right now it seems.Keeping my eye out for the one stand out deal.With the slim pickings on single family homes , I've actually started looking further away in Baltimore multi plexes .That's a little more scary to me as it would include at least some leverage from the bank .

We want to invest in hopefully the Raleigh/Durham area but have been told by multiple people that is a very slim chance we don't mind going outside of this area if that means we can get a duplex.

However with the Democrats holding a slim majority in both house and senate we can expect to see some over reach.

. -- then cash flow is slim to none.

Keep in mind Lake Charles was just destroyed by 2 hurricanes, so pickings, if any, are slim (and slightly inflated in my opinion) at the moment. 

I do have 2 properties now but they were houses I bought to live in and keep when I was ready to move on.So I want to use my 2nd FHA mortgage on my first investment property bought as a investment property.I'm focused on finding a four plex but pickings are slim in the greater Baton Rouge area.I'm seeing a few duplexes sneaking on the market.Do I switch strategies or hold fast stay true to my four plex plan?

My experience with auctions are  "unless you follow them constantly getting a deal under the market price is very slim".I have seen many of them going over market price.If you join bunch of them , you can get one.

Ideally, I was planning to buy a multi-family out in Austin, but they are slim to come by in my price range.

Since her name is on the deed/title everything will be based on the Marital Balance Sheet which will show liabilities and assets.If your plan is to purchase and wholesale the property, there's a slim chance that may occur as I'm sure the ex-spouse will want to know why there is a pending action against the property @Mai Lor
