I wonder is there a way to roll couple of homes in one cash deal(kind of like a whole sale purchase of goods).I am sure that different  banks and REOs do things differently.

I have the rent roll and P&L statement, since I know they will be needed.

Dang, I guess I better roll up my sleeves and get busy.

I am certain that I don't know as much as I need to in order for me to get this company rolling.

Since it requires work you must get paid for your time to roll up your sleeves we dont work free in this business.

I kept thinking how do these guys even survive to make a living rolling the dice on property buys.

For that reason I dont want to buy a 2m property now.I also found some lower ones (150-200k) yielding nice returns (rent roll 35-40k) but this would only be a 50k investment for me (down payment) and not so sure it would be worth my time for such a small amount to visit, do the mortgage, tax etc...I am trying to get over 10% after all reasonable expenses on the property price (so 30-40% on my money).The reason I mention PA (Lackawanna area) is that I know people there who have done this that I trust and that will help.

Without understanding the type of properties you are investing in and because your questions are around financing, my thought is how much profit would you create in just 5 years to roll into an exchange.

In the days I began in this business an old guy coined the phrase control and roll!

You can roll her closing costs into the sale price and pay them.Selling to her sounds like your best bet if you're 1,000 miles away and netting $5 per month.
