Eventually I would like to get out of teaching and do this full time.Developed a relationship with some cash investors this year.

Project details: 4-6 townhouse-style units in a single structure (or possibly two structures), ~1000-1200sqft, 2-3bd/2ba per unit, w/ 1.5sp/unit parking accommodated by first floor two-car garage.

However, my instincts say that an invitation style is more likely to be opened than a traditional long letter envelope...........just sayin

The bank also has 2 houses right next this duplex, which all have same rustic style, built same year.  

Got my start over a decade ago with an on-site mentor who spent three days with me in my market, helping me get deals in my market while he was there, helping me get buyers for those deals while he was there, and teaching me everything I needed to know to not only pay for my training but launch a business that has grossed me hundreds of thousands of dollars over the years.I know it's hard to pick the right mentor.

I wondered, why would a busy investor take time out of their day to teach me?

Taxes: $820Insurance: $700For financing, I'd either buy all cash & refinance to 15 yr fixed at around 6.5% in 12 months, or place permanent 15 yr financing at around 6.5% when the owner finance has expired.It is in the burbs with very similar age, size, & style homes around it.Yes, I have verified the repairs, & the $14k includes 10% fudge factor.This is only my 2'nd rental, so I greatly appreciate your input.

Gurus teach everyone to use the end buyer's fund which is a bad idea, and it could kill the deal if the title company let the end buyer know that you are using their funds to close A to B transaction.Joe Gore

I can't think of a book that could teach you all that.  

I see people advertise that they actually do the business and are willing to teach me how to do the business and that makes sense to me.
