Only now let's say there was a 2nd guy in the equation & he offered you $.75 for your dollar as well as a ride to the next town if you did the deal with him instead of me.

I bought my first house in a similar fashion.

Look at restrictions on the portion used by your business v. that which is rented out.I love the smell of fresh roasted coffee, but I bet it can get nauseating 24/7.I love riding on the coattails of taxpayer subsidized funding from SBA and any redevelopment perks you can get, esp. if they are grant.

The properties are usually in decent condition, and HUD reserves properties for owner-occupants only for a first look period....you can do a live in rehab to build huge equity in short fashion...that you can pull out in a HELOC to work on your next property...

This year I am doing more audible books but I am really liking Lifebridge Capital's "The Real Estate Syndication Show with Whitney Sewell"  (Shameless plug) I'd be remiss if I failed to mention our YouTube show the Old Fashioned Real Estate Show where we drink bourbon old fashioneds and talk about real estate. 

I am going through this right now in Oregon were wholesalers are trying to market properties without owning them in the same manner a real estate agent does.. and then assigning the contracts..Oregon stance is you cannot market a property you dont own in any fashion without a license those with websites and those sending out flyers on their wholesale deals will get cease and desists.
