i would...bc i get to keep and invest the money that i didn't have to use and those returns should offset a slightly higher purchase price (remember the purchase price still should work for your profit goals)...just my opinion...i don't mind paying a few bucks more for it being financed..just like, if i am paying cash, i'm expecting a large discount..works both ways :)

The real estate industry is like any other, you don't walk in off the street as the Top Dog and expect to knowck off big bucks regardless of what some guru tells you.OK, sorry for the rant, but really, I wrote all this for the masses thinking they can do a half million c-store building as easily as they can do a residence.

But investor deals are usually thin on the loan amounts compared to conventional financing and minimum charges will usually apply. usually there will be an account fee, the initial fee to set up the account and this can range from about 25 to 150 bucks, some might want more!

Finally with the walkie- talkie size mobile phones that cost you a buck every time you got a wrong number and a phone bill equal to some peoples income, you had the so called immediate response.

So I'm honing in a few properties, running numbers and preparing to get pre approved for an FHA loan for a 4-plex.To get pre approved, I had to have some money in an account, and a family member offered to transfer it to my account to season it for a couple months.That said, I don't like having money sitting without collecting interest and I want to help the family member that lent me the money to get a few bucks out of the dealIs there a way to simultaneously season funds while putting them somewhere to collect interest?

You might join for a hundred bucks and get a 20% discount.

I wouldn't tick the seller off trying to beat him out of a few hundred bucks on a property like that!

Best $20 bucks I have ever spent.Once you get your hands dirty on the first one, and understand everything from baseboards, to faucets, and types of primer, you'll be better prepared for the 2nd one, 3rd one, etc... and then can sub everything out if you so decide :)My fiance & I are going through our first rehab in which we are doing 90% of the work.

LegalZoom may save you a few bucks, but if ultimately they don't give you the type of entity you want/need, you're risking a lot more than you're saving...

With all successful businesses, big and small, you will see a transition from the Growth/Expansion phase to the Mature (hopefully as a cash cow!!)
