I joined the site back in February and have been on a swift ramp up educating myself on all things RE, reading a number of BP books (and their recommendations) and rolling through the first 80 BP podcasts to date.I'm a full time tech executive in the bay area, CA looking into OOS opportunities to build a RE portfolio (British expat permanently moved to the US in 2014).

I'm an investor from California looking for an Agent/Investor in Tulsa to help with hunting and executing. 

Tom Briney, who has been with us more than six years, guided the execution of this off-market acquisition at a price below the fair market value of the asset.

What you lose there you will pick up on cash on cash returns and if executed well you will also be able to grow with more speed.  

After the option to purchase is executed from the tenant/buyer, and i owner finance, the tenant/buyer starts to collect the one bedroom unit rent?
