They will match effort for effort jumping on seller calls and helping you close deals, walk you through contracts, make connections to attorneys, etc.  

I once bought a house that had been on the MLS for over a year.

Cause my biggest issue with finding BRRRR deals is like I mentioned above, if I put in inspection contingencies, my offer is not strong enough and the seller picks any of the other 5 buyers that have no inspection contingency. 

The owner was motivated due to personal circumstances and wanted to avoid the hassle of listing the property publicly.To negotiate the deal, I started by understanding the seller’s priorities.

Good Morning BP,I bought my first house last year in Suffolk, Virginia just to get started in the real estate game.

Affordable housing is about the housing itself and the economic environment it is created in.

Some types of Creative Financing include: Seller/Owner Financing, Land Contract, Wrap, Assumption, Subto, Lease Option, Contract for Deed.

Less risk because a house that is paid for cannot possibly be foreclosed on.

The seller requires a cash purchase & I’m exploring creative ways to structure the deal.

A "lake house" might be in a residential zoned area where a commercial use would be prohibited or at least require a variance (approval) to make an exception.
