Very little cash flows at 7% interest with houses that have doubled in price over the last 5 years.    

This can be the difference between setting goals and achieving them.

I'm new to real estate investing and looking to connect with local investor.Thank youWhat are specific goals? 

You may need to resubmit things several times, have a hard time getting ahold of them, and there is a very high chance they blow your deal up last minute, but at least you have the opportunity to get the best rate! 

Do you have any specific goals for 2025 that we can help you with?

@Jeff Ryan To be honest, it would depend on your goals.

My goal is buy/hold.

In other words, two financing agreements "wrapped" together.But the goal here would be for the 2nd buyer to close all-cash (to skip the financing process), would that still work? 

In addition to my work as an arborist, I am a hobbyist part-time real estate investor with a passion for expanding my portfolio of long-term rentals and exploring property flipping.My goal is to connect with like-minded investors and professionals, share experiences, and grow in the real estate investing world.

If you approach the conversation by first finding out their goals, then you can back into a strategy that will work for the both of you.
