You touched on the main points exactly, knowledge, hard work, and capital are key in this business. 

can put you in touch with a property management   in canton

@Shane Hedeen Much appreciated@Tony SanFilippo We won't touch anything with a potential 10k profit.

Hi everyone,I live in Hong Kong and just starting investing in Real Estate here.I have a very good lead, let me present it to you all.In a commercial building, the man own a office room high floor, he bought that office for investment for a year ago, he did not touch anything in the property and put it on the market for sale with a large markup.After a 9 months on the market he decided to lower the price, still after 4 month with the lower price no buyers.I then come in and ask the seller if he will consider owner finance on his property as he only have a small loan that is nearly paid.The owner said yes to owner financing and waiting for my offer.I have visited the property and understand why the landlord have not been able to rent or sale, the place was previously owned by a church, the all atmosphere and decoration is very much like a church... so really difficult to rent it as it is for office space or similar. 

I have been put in touch with someone that wants to sell 3 distressed properties very cheap.

A strategy could be if one 4 unit is successful over time then stay in touch with the other investor owners and see if they want to sell.

There is Gold in Mold - if you know how to negotiate it -I started my investing in Cecil County - I did very well - love to get back there and do some deals - stay in touch if you every need a cash partner.Charles

Should this have a personal touch?

I have this idea that I want to hold everything I touch anyway, because if I sell that the last time I'll ever see profits from the house.

That money remains as the tenants money until due each month and can not be legally touched by you till the first of each month.
