I see a disservice being provided in the given example by the real estate agent by not bringing creative strategies on both the sellers and buyers position on this particular deal.

If you have a RE attorney and mortgage broker then I am assuming you are using some type of joint venture or participation agreement to outline who gets paid what and who is in what position as you tranche the loan.

Financially, I’m not in a position where I need to rent it out immediately—I can afford to wait a bit if needed.This is my first time as a landlord, and I was lucky with my first tenant, who was fantastic.

You can very comfortably and at your own pace set yourself up for a very stable start by strategically positioning yourself to be able to buy a property this way if you start preparing now.I hope this was helpful!

I see that real estate agents and brokers are too negative on sub to deals……investors looking for low interest rates and or low down payments are too positive on the same.As I stated the reality is somewhere in between, depending on individual circumstances.  

The Suburban markets with New construction offering decent builder buy-down rates 5s %, and selling completed inventory homes to investors is an opportunity we’re pointing investors to, as well as Duplexes outside the city, that’s where we’re finding some of the best options to get closest to positive cashflow with 20/25% down.

My parameters were that I did not want to add more than 2-3 employees, I did not want to give up control over the u;to are yes - no investment decision, and I didn’t want my position to become a full time job.  

If we go bodies of water it's closer to 48,000. 

It doesn't work as well now because it's hard enough to be cash flow positive with prices + rates and where rents are at. 

I'd personally never take capital that I am paid to manage without committing my full-time effort to the situation and putting a majority (I reserve the right in the future to make this 1/3rd of my position) of my wealth into the situation.
