Hey Patrick - we are targeting more sophisticated investors who will appreciate our approach to help them drive NOI margin and make informed buy/sell decisions.  

Quote from @Atif Khan: Hi, new here. i just finished building my first spec homes out in granbury tx and was looking to buy a few more lots around dfw metroplex.

The hang up is getting deals formally drawn up.One idea:- I buy the property and pay 25% DP, then they provide capital after the closing and I pay them P&I over 5-10 years.

There is another house about two blocks over that I have the opportunity to buy off market under market value.

I personally like the buy-and-hold strategy and we help clients who share this long-term, wealth building mindset. 

That is like walking into the store to buy juice that is for sale for $5 and paying them $7 for it because you want to pay more than what the juice is worth.

Hey @Mike Nelson, never assume anything about STR rules and regs.Here is the STR rules for Oak Park - https://codelibrary.amlegal.com/codes/oakparkil/latest/oakpa...I would call the city and make sure it is legal for a specific property.Now regarding the famous person angle, sure it can add value to the property or as a STR, but for STR use, I would think you would need it to be in original condition with a lot of the furniture and knick-knacks that were owned by the famous person along with a bunch of photos etc featuring the famous person.If you buy a place that has been totally redone but was owned by someone famous but has no features or things that were theirs, then I don't see it being a draw. 

What type of properties are you looking to buy?

Why would someone buy now and make little money for the chance that the rates will adjust later?

So, I kept going back and buying things for my girlfriend until he sold it to me.
