One of his tenants got a note from a doctor allowing her to have a therapy dog in a no pet building.  

I am constantly speaking with doctors, attorneys, business owners, who have plenty of investable income but do not want the hassle of dealing with RE.

I screen well but I also don't get doctors and business professionals renting from me in my demographic.

Three months after that had a device put in my heart to close a hole that was found by my doctors at the Mayo clinic.  

Suppose I was told by my doctor I needed an operation withing the next 15 days and I did not have insurance or enough insurance to pay for my operation and recovery time but I have a house.

Jeremy,first let me say how sorry I am for you and your family about your impeding loss.My went through it myself with my Dad two years ago and know how it feels.Now down to business before it gets to late.First,get a lawyer and help your father in law and his family get ready for the transition.Doing it now will save a ton of heartaches and misery later.He needs a will and living trust to spell out exactly who gets what and how much.It will save time and trouble getting the assets transferred to the heirs with minimal hassle and costs and help ease your father in laws mind.Second,get a Power Of Attorney set up now before his mind is declared by his doctor and lawyers to be legally incompetent(I wish I had done this!).

I get mine from: other whole sellersmeet up groupsasking/ marketing to industry professionals: (i.e. attorneys, doctors, accountants (high net individuals) and then other professions (as is not good to judge ;) ) Looking at previously flipped homes: (just sold or just bought)look for "cash only" remarks on MLS of 'sold' homes (then looking on title) cross net-work with investors in other industries (as investors like to diversify their portfolios) and are already or will be looking to buy real estate. the list goes on... 

Talk to your dentist, doctor, business people.

you take over their mortgage on an informal basis.control the building with a skinny contract offer subject to a private or public treatise (public auction), assign your contract for a profit before you have to go to settlementseller refinances, keeps the cash and you joint venture with seller to share the profits after you do your thing to the building (win-win for all)package your deal and present it to relative (with money), your dentist, funeral director, doctor or local bookie - get your private financing - heck with conventional lenders - most are predators anyhowoffer a "hybrid" contract - that is where you offer one price but give seller a percentage of your net profit when building is sold.ask for owner financing that is secured by other properties you own - this way you have anpotential free and clear property that you can pull cash from - and keepoffer the seller what they may want, a car, truck or other material items that are easy to finance (same as owner financing, but easier)Can you think of other ways to accomplish a profitable situation when buying - we'd love to hear themGood luck ---- Charles (he loves votes)

Of course anyone that would "buy" a property for 5K and then "fix it up" needs to have their head examined.well that was what Clayton MOrris did he bought houses for 2 to 10k said he would rehab them but did not then said doctors and nurses would move in to live there.. 500 to 700 people bought into that story line.
