The 3rd thing that has reshaped my entire opinion of the tax advantages of real estate, is seeing my 88 grandfather holding five quite valuable illiquid properties, long story short it’s a mess, it’s causing family drama, he is in zero shape physically or mentally to manage them, the all have cap-ex needs, again these were amazing buy’s literally multiple properties he bought for under 50k that are now worth over a million but there is probably a time and a place for owning real estate, so I don’t really have a need to own more than maybe a few properties into retirement.

I’m looking forward to gaining valuable insights from the community, sharing my experiences, and helping where I can.If anyone has advice or tips about wholesaling or growing a real estate portfolio, I’d love to hear from you!

I don't do much with free articles except read them and think  "Wow, that was interesting, I should try to do that."  

Websites like Zillow and Redfin can help you find these, and a local realtor can provide valuable insights on the market.Don’t hesitate to ask the community for advice on specific properties!

Thanks for sharing this, it’s a valuable lesson for all of us!

While your co-host is a valuable resource for management, an agent can provide a broader perspective during the acquisition phase.

Also, The Ultimate Guide to Grading Cleveland Neighborhoods is a great article.

Relationships often lead to off-market deals and valuable partnerships.Consider targeting up-and-coming neighborhoods or distressed properties in areas seeing new development or infrastructure improvements.If you’re exploring commercial, maybe start with small multifamily units (like duplexes or fourplexes) before diving into larger complexes.I’d love to connect and possibly collaborate.

Great post and many of the responses are valuable here. 

Using your $100K example, the 6% seller assist is far more valuable to this buyer than merely reducing the purchase price by $6K because the 6% seller assist is a $6,000 reduction in funds required to close whereas reducing the purchase price by $6K equates to less than a $200 savings (2.5% down payment + some incidentals).
