The reality is many lower rate offers have a higher price or are $hit properties, but not all.If you are paying extra for owner financing make sure that the discount rate easily justifies the purchase price.  

--------------------------------------------------------To answer your question, fact and reality is there is no such thing as a "golden ticket" market.

You are asking here to pay someone for their time in reality and that is where you will get pitched every program on earth when in reality, you are doing the right thing by meeting a lot of investors.

I have a lead on a property that was north of $2M during the peak but I have heard the area has seen pricing coming back to reality and would be curious to get a sense for how values are faring in the area. 

Just keep your eye on the numbers, be patient, and, if the path feels a bit winding at times, remember that most of us have been right there the ones who kept at it ended up with the sweetest returns.Take care, Pat & JasperTurning investment visions into REALITY in Phoenix, AZ - Ranked #1 for residential real estate growth and opportunity by PwC

that didn't make sense to me that if i have my ira with you then you will put who the owner is but if i don't have it with you you wont' put anything.anyways, she def didnt' give me indication that she exactly knew. maybe i had a bad agent and since i was already skeptical of using a small bank, that def turned me off.at chase my account shows that it's a business account under an llc. i am the manger of llc, the only thing that worried me is that they put me as a the owner of llc. this seemed no diff to me that when you go get an ein, it also puts you the owner of llc. if irs itself can have this limitation in getting the ein, then surely they would understand the limitation of the bank. besides, i have a fully complying operating agreement in which i have a clause that explains while irs ein letter shows me as the owner, in reality it is my ira that is owner and that that there are limitations on irs website when obtaining an ein. i will jsut be adding a similar explanation in my operating agreement about bank acct and have all the supporting documentation in case if it's ever needed. but that's where i am at.i wish this process was simpler/ easier. it is also very frustrating that the custodian doesnt' telll you anything. they all market you can have a checkbook ira but don't really guide you in HOW to do it practically. all these rich ppl are doing it and i doubt they are going through all these hoops. ...

Hopefully this view of passive is not too warped from reality! 

Sorry I was not able to give you a silver bullet for your problems, but this is the reality of the situation.

I have been interested in REI for 7+ years, have been a landlord for 4+ years, but in all reality, if I put all of that same energy back into my work career instead, I would probably be financially further down the road.
