My question is, how many of you that are using these creative finance techniques have actually put some proper stress-testing on your portfolio?

I self manage this property and they are the best tenants I have ever had - no fuss.Prior tenants of this space over 15 years - I have had to evict 2 tenants through unlawful detainer for non-payment, others asking for this, complaining about that, and it goes on.   

Find out techniques to convince them that even though I don't have some six figure some to bring to the table I'm not just some dead weight trying to leech off them.

I could use some guidance here.I'm looking at a scenario and I'm new, so any ideas or inputs would  be great.I know a guy ready to give his house over to the bank because he is going broke.I'd like to try and buy his house for a great deal and make it a rental and I'm trying to think of the best technique. since Interest rates are high right now, I dont wanna open a new loan and get locked in at a high interest rate on a potentially long loan. so I was thinking about that promissory note idea. where I promise him to pay his loan payment and it stays in his name, assuming he has a better interest rate than what I could get. any ideas on that tactic?

Additionally, I feel calling my contacts up on the weekly to discuss listings without being able to physically see the properties may exhaust the relationship.Have any of you faced this challenge, and if so, what techniques did you use to help overcome this?

The technique as a whole I would describe as "neato". 

Because you have no idea what type of deal you'll find and which seller will call and/or work with you.This is why you need to network network network with local investors so you have someone to buy the ones you can't handle.And wholesaling is not actually an investment technique.

LooKS LIKE Same cabinets just painted, a good technique if cabinets are in good shape.
