How much lower depends on what time of year the home was completed- Usually can charge a much higher rent for new homes.

@Jinglei Shen depends on the builder.

@Mary Lopez It definitely depends on your scenario and the details.

It also depends on whether your next purchase is a rehab, turn key, flip or hold.

We will never have the right answer; everything depends on your circumstances.

Whether that is worth the $99 really depends on if you think it’s or is not

some gurus teach this method.. thats all this is.. seller is going to have to pay inputed interest to the IRS though.. to me it would depend on down payment..

Depends if you are worth millions already than 40k is like 1k but likely do not need their course.

You should definitely be able to find decent multifamily properties for under $200k, and multifamily would be my suggestion for starting out if you can swing a larger down payment (depending on loan type, you MAY need 10% more for a multifamily vs a single family, but not always).

I work with several investors in the area. and a deal for one will be different depending on what you are looking for.
