quickset locks make it so easy. i key all the locks to one key & takes me a minute to rekey.it's a little bit extra but helps if I ever to have rekey really fast in a desperate situation...plus i know save on the labor.

Yes, the limit on most 401k accounts is 50K (loan), you could cash out if really desperate, but you would pay taxes on early withdrawn. 

In summary, I agree with those who suggest leave it alone UNLESS you can get it at the normal wholesaler/investor discount, as if from a motivated/desperate Seller.

The guy also revealed that he was having money problems and had just done a stint in jail for having unpaid fines.My thought was either these people are really lousy landlords, or they were desperate for tenants and took the first people who came along.

Get a contract with contingency to cover you (an exit contingency). make the offer, don't seem too desperate.

I typically list at least 1 month out to avoid looking desperate And attracting desperate people who figure I’ll let things slide to get it filled.

Can you please advise, I am in desperate need for guidance.

Personally, I look for DESPERATE sellers, because you MUST buy rentals at a big discount to market value if you want them to cash flow.

Get someone in a desperate situation and do you know what desperate people do?

I'm in desperate need of help and would love someone to teach me about whole selling process and guide me to my first deal.
