Was that purchase money, rate and term refi, or cash out refi?

I recently watched a video on social media that mentioned the way he was buying properties and yielding the benefit of the sellers low interest rate is having the seller put the property in a trust and then purchasing the trust.

We source and purchase all finish materials for our projects (lights/plumbing fixtures/etc). 

Alot of unknowns as you don't have the ability to walk the property beforehand, but interesting process, and pretty good deals exist there.While the Trustee Sales are cash purchases, there are many hard money options that can turn over the funds in time for the 24 hour funding required to complete the purchase.If you are interested, let me know and I can go into more detail, as well as make some other suggestions for you to consider. 

I understand some of the economic factors that can lead one to a particular city or province (or state), but unsure of some of the key elements as you funnel down below that level.Appreciate any insight.Tyler 

I imagine the only way it would be possible is to do the bulk purchase in cash, sell off a couple and then put debt on them?

You can also assess a dollar amount that you value the cost of these requests to be, and ask for these as a discount from the purchase price or a concession to you for closing costs. 

Purchase price: $230,000 Cash invested: $283,550 Sale price: $283,500 Purchased off market. $25,000 Rehab. $20,000 profit after realtor commission.

I am not sure if I would make the same decision today.However, if you think you can purchase real estate and have a SIGNIFICANT delta as an investment, I would not cash out the 401k now to buy real estate. 

I'm a fan of using the HELOC to help purchase new property.
