Hello @Michael Dallas,To verify the seller’s information, ensure you request these essential documents:Rent Roll (to confirm rental income and occupancy)Lease Agreements (to review tenant terms)Financial Statements (past 1-2 years, including income and expenses)Property Tax StatementsUtility Bills (if applicable)Maintenance Records and recent CAPEX reportsInsurance Policy DetailsInspection Reports (any recent or previous reports)These will help you confirm the property’s income, expenses, and condition.

You get financial freedom from keeping property, not selling it.

By leveraging our financial resources alongside Ron's contributions, we were able to secure the property quickly and allocate funds efficiently for the $25,000 renovation.

For me, I do not view real estate as anything other than a financial investment.  

The best down to nail down the value is to review the financials, look at comps, and get an appraisal.

It is definitely an amazing way to reach financial independence especially if you stay consistent with it!

What is your current financial capabilities? 

@Jean G.The reality is: it dependsIt’s a numbers game where you need to first determine: what yield do I want and what are the outcomes/ risks involved that could impact thatBuild yourself a financial calculator to understand this but also understand you need to know every process and how much it costs and how long it takes90% upb on a commercial property in a non judicial state with equity and default interest at 15% is a great deal but take that same asset in another state which also has long eviction laws and it could be awfulLastly bankruptcy could wipe out some of your lien depending on the type and how the loan was written.

Depending on the tenant and what their financial situation is, you might also be better off giving them a 60 day notice and just telling them that you're planning to move into the property and do some updating. 30 days is usually too short for someone to have to move on, 60 days is plenty of notice for them to be able to pack and find another place.

prices are high, interest rates are high, there is tremendous demand for inventory by both retail / primary buyers and investors, good contractors are booked up, some materials are still expensive. ' can't we just be honest that (1) if you are in a strong financial position, then yes, RE is still a good investment and ALSO  (2) it's way more difficult than it was in 2016?
