@Darrin Carey  like you I have been at this game a little while.. when you go on and Advertise NO money down no credit.. you will get all the newbies who don't know any better.. they are dreaming of RE richs you pair that with slick sales folks and these people are separated from the 2000k in a heartbeat..

Try selling that to a new tenant coming in with a fresh pair of eyes and they will notice all kinds of things.This is why I love it when I see a flyer from a brokerage saying ( great opportunity to raise rents and are 50 bucks per unit below market ).

@Chelsea Benoit Welcome to BP.  

Are you pairing it with a renovation loan?

I haven't worn a real pair of shoes in years.

Getting access to MLS will clearly come with pairing up with an agent correct?

Oh, it's pretty plain to see someone isn't a lawyer.That "option" isn't even an option,A dollar might hold a pair of shoes on layaway, lacks equitable interest, and you think a buck turns into 5K :))What rights are you describing to a buyer of your Trust that they have, tip toeing through fraud are we?

Buyer pays their typical costs of origination, half escrow fees, pre-pairs, appraisal etc. 

Phone's too small so I'm still off the grid until it's fixed or I buy a huge pair of magnifying glasses.

However, the buy & hold area is so much different than flipping that telling you I have a deal that will cash flow at 1% is about the same as telling you I have a pair of shoes that will fit you without knowing your shoe size.Flipping employs a fairly simple and defined formula that everyone can use.
