Shoot them your best offer the first time, with the best possible terms you can offer, and hold your breath.

I'm very surprised some Realtors haven't come on here and got all "crabby patty" on everyone for verbalizing their opinions and experiences. obviously as an investor I completely agree when asking a Realtor anything related to "investing" you're wasting not only your breath but the oxygen it takes when the agent gets all gaspy for air and flaring their arms around like a monkey screaming, " the end is near!

(deep breath) First order of business (for me) has been to find something of a mentor.

That stuff is highly toxic and you don't want to be breathing the fumes.

If you haven't been reading the forums already, dig in; there is a breath wealth of experience here in the community.

It also was very recent too so this was not back in the days when banks would lend to anyone who was breathing.

But once again, I wouldn't hold my breath for a Judge to ward you a Judgment on frivolous wear and tear issues. 

Especially with the new population "millenias" who were born on the Internet and breathe hashtags and instagrams, you want to be "cool" because that's your new wave of customers.

Most of my clients barely have time to breathe they are so busy and just want something that goes and they collect a check.You can find small NNN deals sometimes like a Pizza Hut for 300,000 at a 10 cap or things like that.

I am in the process of buying my second rental as a cash purchase (i lack income proof to leverage) and I have just enough for the offer I made and can either 1 - take on a partner for 10k (friend or family) which would give more breathing space for repairs but I would be giving up equity, 2 - I can take cash advances from credit cards as I need, it just makes things more tight and pressured. has anyone had this dilemma and what would you do?
