B and C multifamily will be there for you, when you're ready... the first step is to get your basic balance sheet in order.

It is way more difficult and time consuming than most people make it sound, and I have yet to meet a truly successful and honest wholesaler (have met many who are not either).   

Basically the message to the seller is that you can make things very difficult for them. 

I'm looking to buy a property within the next 40 days with the downpayment coming from a self-directed IRA, and the balance from hard money.

Absent some special circumstances (not likely considering there is a $0 or low mortgage balance), there is literally no incentive to sell pre-auction... the auction company has a guaranteed sale and the owner knows that participation will be great because the property WILL sell on auction day.As a bidder, hope for bad weather.

Probably the most difficult property to sell that I can think of. 

You have a very difficult time ahead that will not end well.

This is my first purchase and was trying to figure out via the building code (which of course is difficult to understand) before the zoning compliance cert was pulled.Will find out soon enough though!

It will be very difficult to be cash flow positive at the end of the month if you’re owner occupying one unit and only putting 5% down.  

Does anyone know how to pay off a balance of 203k loan before the project completed?
