Steve, I don't specifically have a deal on the table currently, so I am definitely still exploring my options as far as financing.

Hey Y'all,Have this bond for deed deal on the table that I'm analyzing.

Hey Y'all,Have this bond for deed (same as land contract in other states) deal on the table that I'm analyzing.

As much as I agree with you, the reason I posted the question is because even though the numbers work (even at the asking price), I just cant shake the feeling that I don't want to leave any money on the table. 

While not related to rentals, yesterday I heard about a new flip investor SELLER who had to bring $40k to the closing table upon resale.   

There are a lot of factors to consider, and I would recommend flushing out the taxes with a CPA the first year to make sure you sent everything up correctly and don’t leave any money sitting on the table.

The bigger question is: in order for someone experienced to take under their wing and show you the ropes, what will you bring to the table?

However, for those who actually had to come up with the cash to get to the closing table, it’s easy to look at these expenses as part of your equity in the property.

This would balance what your bringing to the table and help you gain experience.

Guess I don't quite understand what it is you're bringing to the table?
