How are you going to put money down to hold the deal?

I always have a "hold 1st" mentality - you might have to leave a few more dollars in the deal but at least you'll have it in your portfolio.

The majority of investments is a game of "race to the bottom" and "who holds the cheaper debt" card. 

When looking at discounting properties to find a deal, I tend to lean into what the seller is looking for when I know I'm holding. 

That being said, I'm not a fan of holding property in anything sub B quality. 

Lenders often consider the whole picture, so keep building that credit but don't let it hold you back from exploring options.Since you're considering a trailer to fix up, have you thought about markets like East Phoenix or the outskirts of Austin?

You don’t need anyone to hold or manage your SD 401(k) plan.

Much more than a forum answer post can hold. 

I am ashamed that we have folks like that wearing the badge or holding the office. 

I already have land holdings near Everett that will certify out at 304 salable density bonus credits.To play this game, I get certified and then "clip off" the transferable development rights for sale to urban developers in the county, who can cash them in for an increase in dwelling unit density from an original 22 units/acre to 58 units, and building heights from 45' to 75'.
