For example, I can't see a way to use any marketing packages??? 

@Virginia Frost What market/city are you targeting?

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?

Make sure the tenants are paying market rent or above, otherwise your loan will be DSCR constrained.

You can also start by being a "bird dog" and finding off market deals.

Chicago, with its vibrant neighborhoods and strong rental market, is a prime location for this strategy.

Hi,We recently (Aug 2024) bought commercial land of around 2 acres. this was part of bigger commercial lot (around 25 acres) which had AG exemption and so the taxes that they paid was around $20 each year. we received a 'AG ROLLBACK' letter from the appraisal district that starting 2025 tax year, we will be taxed at it market value resulting in additional taxes, interest and possible penalities for 3 prior years.

A few other houses (all single family houses) on the same street are on the market for rental and they (including my house) all get grouped and nestled under one cover listing as “units” of an apartment complex.

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 joined various internet marketing programs and mentorships to find ways to transition from my W2 job.
