Although it isn't some miraculous contract that will hold a buyer hostage, there can be repercussions to you and/or the agent you eventually earn a commission with.

Once I've completed these initial projects and built up some capital, my long-term goal is to transition into buy-and-hold investments in potentially more affordable markets to maximize cash flow and scale up.Right now, I'm particularly interested in investing locally here in the Seattle metro area.

One that holds a special place in my heart is Tractionby Gino Wickman.

If I hold a property in an LLC (sole proprietor) can it be sold to an LLC that my son is the sole proprietor of?   

Since you’re already networking and have some good realtor contacts, focus on narrowing down your investment strategy (like buy-and-hold or house hacking) and target markets with solid cash flow potential.

Hi team, I currently live in Dallas, but only have invested in the midwest with rehabs and buy/holds that I currently rent out.

Buyers don’t care if you shelled out more on the rehab, if you’re priced too high, you’ll end up sitting on the market way longer than you want, driving up holding costs.Lastly if your buying on market, REO or Corporate sellers are dominating and not as willing to negotiate as owners would.

Also are you planning to hold the lot?

Contact potential sellers who are not actively seeking to sell their real estate holdings.  

I am a nurse and can relate to holding a w2 for insurance and being able to flex my income with shift work.
