Another strategy is "Subject To."

If 50% leverage is used, $10,000 cash invested would buy $20,000 of the subject asset.  

Seller financing, subject-to deals (taking over the seller’s mortgage), or lease options can create terms that work for both parties.

Yes, any cash you take out of a 1031 exchange that isn’t reinvested into a like-kind property is considered “boot” and is subject to capital gains tax.

But your subject line is pretty generic, try something that is more descriptive like a newspaper headline, you will see some good responses.

Same thing as Bankrate for example they use a very specific model to price those rates and scenarios like 740 Fico, 70LTV, 15 year term and the APR is never really talked about when it comes to margin and points charged.So when your fico score, LTV, loan size or DTI deviates from that very specific loan scenario then they say in all websites required by law "rates are subject to change" hint hint! 

They can't assess all the subjective data like overall layout, view from the living room window, the dogs next door that bark all day, the width of doorways, size of individual rooms, quality of kitchen cabinets and appliances, etc.The best thing to do is study your market regularly.

While podcasts, books, seminars, and websites offer general knowledge, you'll buy a specific property in a specific location, subject to local rules and regulations.

Best" is very subjective and the quantity of off market leads isn't necessarily the metric you should be focused on.

A few thoughts on the subject from someone who made a living doing this until the laws changed on the West Coast.Most folks in foreclosure go into deep denial.
