I am also trying to utilize the first-time home buyer down payment assistance program, but the site says they don't allow investment opportunities.

I used to pay a site visit to every property of which we were considering lending or purchasing an existing note.

Next came what I would call 'land speculation' (SDIRA purchases unimproved parcel and subdivides or does site improvements, then cashes out) followed by a distant last place - rental investment.

I have not had any direct contact with him, but the info on his site is typically spot-on and I link to it every now and again. 

- How are you verifying ad accuracy on all the posted sites?

I can not find on this site where to post listings. 

Apts complexes consisting of 100s or units can afford on site property manager, assistant managers, maintenance staff, volume discounts, etc.  

@Brady D'Hont keep a backup key in a lock box on site for the schlage encode.

I love this site, but I think it promotes the idea that real estate done right is a sexy proposition -- owner financing, BRRR, off-market deals, blah blah blah.In reality, it's quite simple.

Outside of work my interests are sports, fitness, poker and coaching my sons little league baseball team.
