You can't add value to your crypto.You probably don't even know what your 401k is invested into (or, if you even SUPPORT the companies you're investing in.)You can't add value to your Apple stock or Meta stock.But you CAN buy a great property, fix it up, solve the problems, and INCREASE the value (and cash flow.)

If only I could get a dollar $ for every time an investor asked me that question.You see guys, it's quite simple.Since our price points are super low (Only $60,000 - $80,000).Most of our investors have more then enough cash to purchase quite a few homes fairly quickly.Thus, we don't have a need to wait for 6-8 weeks to hopefully get the deal across the line via financing.To be honest, we also hate working with lenders and appraisers.Most of them drag their feet and appraisers are super conservative these days due to the Fannie Mae guidelines that were introduced after the fiasco of the Global Financial Crisis.So they are known to intentionally use foreclosed comparable sales to under-appraise properties just to protect their own A$$.This isn't genuine and I've always believed that if you can't fix something or make it better.You need to eliminate it.That's why we have eliminated all financing when buying through our company.I'm sorry.Now, for all of you thinking that you are getting a turnkey property as a "safer" investment for "fair value" just because the turnkey provider offers financing.Think again.After being in real estate for 10+ years and buying/selling over 500 properties world wide.I have seen all of the dirty tricks.An easy one is to influence the appraiser by smudging their eyes with supposed work performed on a house that never really was.Like a "converted attic", "newly installed HVAC", or a "rehabbed garage", etc...Most are too lazy to check these items and will just mark them on the sheet as "done".All of these items would unjustifiably increase a properties value in the thousands if not tens of thousands of dollars.At the end of the day, there are always going to be bad apples no matter what.Your job is to find the good ones.No matter how you decide to invest (With cash or financing).Find the right team and you will do well.Find the wrong one and it will end in disaster.I wish you all much success and thanks for reading.ps.
