@Deanna McCormick thank you for the quick response to be honest I don't know what to expect I've never been in a similar position. 

To be honest, I may just bite the bullet on this and get a home I know will be a great investment.

To be honest I am sort of amazed that you are questioning the validity of this "transaction."

I certainly don't plan to rehab myself 10 years down the road.In all honesty I haven't put a whole lot of thought into personal exit strategy because I'm just focused on trying to get off the ground first.  

When they couldn't, my realtor called and said owner was willing to sell but wanted to net $220 and so the price changed to $235.In all honesty, the house was somewhat undervalued when originally listed ($225-230 was very fair). 

I am looking at properties everywhere, my longer term goals are California, East Coast, and abroad.....to be honest I was thinking of the tax benefits of having properties in those places because they are places I like to visit....maybe naive on my part...right now I want to find a one or a few trusted advisors/providers to purchase cash flowing properties to grow our passive income and portfolio. 

I'll be honest, I am new to all of this but I'm very eager and I'm a quick leaner.

What positions you for success is your strategy, your market acumen, your TRACK RECORD, honesty, integrity, and results.

I'm assuming that's not what you meant and if you're interpreting "steal" and "discount" as being two different things, then now we are just playing semantics.

Used it once and I will be honest I did not like the turnout as you will still see seams.
