You would need to have a purchase contract with the seller like Wheatie said above, for your specific state get with other investors at a local REIA meeting to see what they use and put in their contracts or go to a RE lawyer.And again Wheatie's got it, once you have the property under contract find a reputable title company, preferably one that works with investors and they can guide you through the rest!

In order to obtain 100% financing I would assume that you would have to build a good reputation in order to secure the loans for each deal.

As you can tell I had a bad experience at my first company, but just checking online about the company & the BIC will help prevent ruining your reputation by associating with the wrong crowd.

If I have a problem and need a maintenance person her husband is a plumber and can fix most issues.

Using a reputable title company 4.

Unless you are a plumber/electrician/landscaper/tree trimmer/... start with a small rental proper and work you way up to the 4 unit.

Single family houses are generally the most forgiving for a lot of reasons and therefore I always recommend starting with a few of those.You do NOT want to BUY BIG; lose all your capital; gain a bad reputation; and be forced into bankruptcy.

I think birddogging could be a great way to learn the business with no risk at all.Just make sure you are birddogging for a reputable investor that will pay you.

He said his father said when I had all my stuff together he would bring my plumbing connections and finish up.. heh..When I had all the stuff here at the house..hmm.. so I called the son who I didn't want involved but dad's phone doesn't even offer voice mail..I simply said if his dad had any b@@@s I wouldn't be calling him.. but to relay that unless he gets my plumbing connections and thermostat to the house finds a way to get the stove, Micro and DW the next day I was going to file a fraud report, hire an electrician and plumber and then go to sma;ll claims court to have him pay back what he stole and for the costs of the people I had to hire for the work he didn't do not to mention the distress he caused me and my poor family who wonder why I am about to kick the dog.. who did he think would win.Anyway I know I ...good luck right?

I have a HVAC contractor, a plumber and a roofer I routinely use.
