You're spot on with how private money lending offers speed and flexibility compared to traditional banks.

Alhtough values continue to appreciate, home prices are coming down as competition gets heated with more homes on the market.

Make offers on off sale properties. 3.  

I didn't walk the house prior to making an offer and prior to closing.

Hi @Hassan Oukacha - Being from Texas you would need to either get your real estate license or use an online service like Inestway.com or Propelio.com - both are brokerage websites that offer true MLS sold comps for you.Full disclosure I am the co-founder of Propelio.com, but there are other sources like investway that I mentioned.

Ask a home inspector for their mold guy if you don't have one already.If these are otherwise high maintenance tenants: offer them the opportunity to break the lease and move out with no penalty (besides damages, of course).

Don’t be afraid to reach out and offer value, even if it means going the extra mile in the beginning.
