With traditional 1/4" grout lines, and the added bevel, the level of the grout can be so low as to catch a great deal of dirt.

If you want buyers that require traditional financing.

I am currently exploring strategies mixing buy and holds and fix and flips using traditional and creative financing and in the meantime pursuing my CA Salesperson License - all while raising toddler twins!

I remember one little store in Hollywood that used to make 50k just in gift baskets during xmas - pre internet.Private label runs for organizations,  clubs, bars, restaurants, golf courses etc..Then all the traditional distributors large and small nationwide. 

I'm interested in traditional buy and hold and am REALLY intrigued by note investing….though I have a lot more to learn on the subject before I am comfortable diving in.

Normally, I only come out of pocket 5 to 10k per deal. 2) I buy with hard money and then refi into a commercial loan so I'm able to get into the homes with a lot less money than a traditional purchase.But still.

If yes, I would think it makes it more probable to get a deal/discount vs traditional REO's and then fix/flip.With my current funds and my local market for fix-flip, I will be limited to 1 property (and that might be good so I don’t get ahead of myself) VS investing in notes at other states where collateral value might be lower but debt higher (but bought at discount) and could work 2-3 deals (5k each) and still keep some reserves for all the due diligence and holding costs until able to exit.... right assumption?

I have heard of them but what makes them different than the traditional way? 

@Christian Kenworthy Welcome.

However, they typically buy multi-families with traditional financing.
