Not much to add here but I think it’s good to avoid the guru “hype”, try not to compare my situation to others’ and to keep the faith in my reasons for RE investing in the first place.

YOu paid cash put your money out in good faith you should get at least a product you paid for..

For your faith in us we will give you the platinum membership in our real estate group, Flipping Females for the ladies, Matrix for the guys.

Some of the so called yellow letters are child like.

They can also collect interest on this loan, so it is not only a show of good faith in their abilities, but also goes back to putting in good faith effort in boosting NOI.

Even with the low money down strategies I'm considering, the reality is I'll still need some for closing costs and some type of reasonable down payment (not necessairily 10's of thousands of dollars, but enough to show good faith).It's dawned on me that it's hard to make things click without that in place.

A contingency upon the buyer obtaining a conventional loan at fixed rate at 7% or less amortized for 30 years is a contingency, if the buyer, in good faith, fails to obtain such financing, the buyer is under no obligation to perform.

Faith is what we're sure of;-)

I'm able to get "good faith estimates" online of loans under 50K (aimloan.com works) but I haven't tried actually applying and seeing if it would really go through.HELOC till 6 months(or possibly one year) is probably a good choice vs portfolio refi, then lock in these historically low rates if you want to hold long term.

You could be required to put down a good faith deposit during the time prior to the p&s being signed if accepted by the seller.as far as I know this is how its done in MA
