Hi Angelica,Just adding my own 2 cents worth here from a deal I did not too long ago:I bought a prop off Auction.com about 2 years ago.

They can't print the envelopes cheaply enough to make it worth while, so I would still run the envelope through the printer.

Know your market cap rate and you can quickly determine whether property is worth a closer look. 

Live in the multi-family for a year, then move back into your own home and rent out the unit.If if not ideal, it's worth the hassle. 

3️⃣ How do you evaluate whether a deal is worth taking a piece of instead of owning outright?

. - Taxes are on the higher side at $6,000 yearMy Numbers: $115,000 putting 20% of my money $23,000 and finance the rest with total expense of $1,834Monthly expense numbers: Future Maintenance 13% $273 - Vacancy 5% $105 - Property Insurance 5% $105 - Property Taxes 23% $500 - Property management 10% $215 - Office/Travel/Legal 4% $84 - Mortgage 26% $552 - Monthly Cash Flow - $316 per month or $3,792 per year so Cash on Cash = 17%I think this looks like it is a deal worth doing and I also believe I can bump the total rent up by $50 each tenant which I think make it even better.

I cannot remember the last time that is visited a property before making an offer.

Using your throw-away prepaid credit card of course, to protect your credit, and complying with the contract terms -- I find teasers sometimes do indicate whether the subsequent seminar or product might be worth having your company purchase.

I will try and remember to come back and update what I find out in a week or two of testing out both platforms.
