I agree, MLS deals are still a great source but in competitive market it’s good to have other sources to stay ahead of your competitors, I think.

I stumbled upon the SDIRA while researching different financial vehicles and now I’m curious.

welcome, good luck on ur journey. keep on reading/listening- it so much information & ways to get ahead & stay ahead. more importantly, keep hustling. you’re gonna need all the money you can get, the more the better. add value to whatever you do. 

With the roof replaced already and will go ahead and make some assumptions that the water heater and a/c are fairly new as well.

If you had the opportunity to buy a building for $850,000 at 50% down versus putting the same amount of money into the stock market and just letting it ride (assume VTSAX as the vehicle) which would you choose?

I heard a tip once to find good people, go to Home Depot early in the morning or at night then find work vehicles in the parking.

I am going ahead WITHOUT plans.

In my county they post the list of properties that will be up for auction at the tax deed auction ahead of time.

Anyways, Thank you @Michael Stanton and I am trying to stay a step ahead and protect myself, hence the question-Is there a way to not get bypassed if I show a potential partner this without it being under contract?  

They get their $5 Starbucks, cigarettes, beer, drugs and tattoos but don't understand why they can't get ahead.
