My goal is to gain a solid understanding of the process, master deal analysis, and ultimately close my first deal.Right now, I’m focused on learning the basics — from finding motivated sellers to building a strong network of cash buyers.

Get the details here I'm really looking forward to learning from some of the best real estate educators, and then being able to take those lessons to smaller accountability groups to be able to discuss putting them into action with motivated peers. 

@Joshua Christensen wouldn't expenses naturally be less if the seller's just spent about $75,000k on cap ex improvements? 

The sellers you are dealing with in these situations don't deal with prorating Taxes, or any other kind of prorations, that is what an escrow agent does. 

I did not mention, but this is a probate sale, and the seller is the executor of the estate.

Purchase price: $275,000 Cash invested: $294,000 Sale price: $355,000 Seller was behind on pay HOA payments and in risk for losing the property.

So, that the seller knows they won't be nickle and dimed.

Stay motivated by setting goals and celebrating progress!

Without going into great detail, you are provided 50 motivated leads per month for 1/5th of the cost I have found from “retail” lead companies.
