It's been tough trying to find a 12%pa cash-flow property here lately and this a higher return than that.Phoenix has become a little tougher to find a deal with a lot of fat on it, not impossible, but tougher than when I started.

RE financing doesn't secure the "fruits" of the land but can in a commercial ag loan.You'll need to find an ag commercial lender, you'll need an MAI appraisal and probably bids from a timber broker.

I think that is a red flag that a turnkey provider is making a fat profit.

the house as soon as we can in order to pull our cash back out- 50/50 partnership split between my partner and I ($200,000 in cash needed from each at time of purcahse)- My partner will be fulfilling his portion (his $200,000) down through a personal line of credit he has with a high net worth relative of his- I don't have the full $200,000 in cash needed on my end for the initial cash down process at the Sheriff's sale (I have about 1/3rd of that in cash which I will be using as my half of the down payment when we refinance / to have for improvements we need to make for the flip)  Saying all of that, my question is: What are the different ways in which I can finance that initial $200,000 of cash down I need on my end for the day of the Sheriff's auction?

And, no relationship between a single agent and investor can, in my opinion and experience, compare to the resources and relationships that follow when an REI joins in as an agent.Life evolves.

My strategy is to gain 30 units as quickly as i can in able to replace my current income.

Im living in Beijing, China, and I am able to save a lot of money here that I want to invest into rental properties, and since Im soooooo far away Im following the ideas of David Green, about the long distant investing, I picked up Indianapolis as a city and a region where I want to invest and I have found a local agent and a property manager , so they can , in a way, control each other, in a sense that I will have two separate source of information, because I will not be able to be there and I need to choose the right property, especially because this is my first one and Im still learning about all of this.

I'm here to help you any way I can.  In
