Shorter term deals though, they will hold 2 to 3 years, sometimes less.

Also, don’t stress about making your first deal perfect.

Now, you need to figure out how to find deals and pay for them.

I spoke to them about 1.5 months ago and since then they have been non-responsive that makes them look like not the real deal and I'm wondering if they are still around and active and good?

Bigger deals can be a good angle to attack AND that being said there is a greater deal of risk involved. 

Jeremy is more like a capital raiser in some deals and I know he is super experienced.

It sounds like the Seller does not want to commit until he knows the deal will go through, and until that time, he wants to be able to entertain other offers. 

We've sold 65+ homes and the biggest request we get from our Buyers is help with closing costs.Most of our deals we're providing anywhere between $5K-$10K to help Buyers offset the cash requirement to purchase a home.Even in today’s "high" interest rate environment, many Buyers prioritize closing cost assistance over an interest rate buydown.

How did you find this deal and how did you negotiate it?

Without any cash it is unlikely unless you can find a 100% seller financed deal (they do exist, I just did one a few months ago).
