I am a huge proponent of buying and holding.

I never buy into these just watch and learn that is it.

for me  a handful since early 80s  now in those days I was ONLY buying land that had owner contracts on them. 

It is exciting to think about having a big stack of cash to invest in something, but what if that something doesn't advance you the way your property does since it grows in value AND provides income.Maybe the $800/mo cash flow can be your seed money for stock you want to buy...? 

Hi Jonathan, what is your buying criteria in GA and what counties are you looking to purchase in?

Investment Info:Single-family residence buy & hold investment.

Quote from @Chris Seveney: Quote from @Eric Henson: Do you guys ever take the risk of buying a foreclosure at sheriff sale with the previous owner still living in it?

If the other two parties want to flip a house maybe they can do just that as partners and then sell you the house which you can buy with a primary home loan with low down payment.

Thanks so much for posting all this info I had been looking at Apke Land or Land Investing Online, while they give lots of free information if you really want in depth or access to their letters you have to buy their course.

-are you buying with conventional or DSCR financing?
