Quote from @Wen Chen: I purchased a SFH in 2018 and lived in it until 2023.

Things like excessive dining out, bad habits, subscriptions, or impulse purchases and showing how redirecting those funds can lead to meaningful progress toward buying property.

I have been considering asking to buy the single family in cash to separate the deal but would like that amount to be subtracted from the purchase price while keeping the cash I would spend on the down payment the same to include the single family that way the seller gets the same amount of cash upfront.

Just for primary and secondary home purchases. 

I purchased a property in the 77003 zip code which is 1.5 miles from downtown.

Purchase price: $142,500 Cash invested: $25,000 We purchased 2 adjacent, tiny rowhomes in the Northern Liberties neighborhood of Philadelphia.

Assuming you have access to MLS (Multiple Listing Service, a place for agents to list deals).1) Look for deals that look like investor-type of deals (e.g. low purchase price, ugly houses, or sometimes MLS will even say what type of financing it is)2) If the buyer's info is there, voila.  3) Otherwise, contact the realtor to look for leads (that will be more of a uphill battle, but you never know...)

Purchase price: $210,000 Cash invested: $35,000 Triplex 3- 1bed 1 bathCompletely RenovatedShared Utilities What made you interested in investing in this type of deal?

Hey everyone,I'm in the process of purchasing a multi-family apartment building and just discovered none of the current tenants have any kind of move-in inspection. 

I also did a 1031 exchange from a different property that gave me a bunch of cash for one of these purchases.
