Hey everyone, I alongside my partners are actually creating a platform for folks looking to buy/sell land in Costa Rica (actually all of Latin America + Caribbean for that matter).

Off market is really just a marketing term. 

This is obviously much better than $1,400 per month.On top of that, you will now get 2x the depreciation write-off so your taxes should go down.On top of that, you will now get 2x the appreciation when real estate price go up.On top of that, your tenants are helping you pay down the loan, initially at about $100/mo for both properties, which gradually gets better and better.On top of that, you now have more units so if one or two goes vacant, you have more renters covering the losses of the vacant units.If you want to keep these properties, I would do a cash-out refi and go buy more rental real estate.

Good to know as I have a property coming on the market and we had one off market offer already all cash but at 10% list price discount (which we most likely will reject).Curious if you think the california fires will assist the market since many of those people need places to live for years and I am guessing some will flee california?

The secret to dominating the world of off-market acquisitions isn’t about delivering a slick pitch or being pushy—it’s about becoming the trusted, go-to problem solver that sellers want to work with.

It's ultimately up to them, take that risk off of your plate and pass it along if possible.Offer a solution to the owner for a larger deposit amount, this can vary depending upon the situation and risk evaluation, but typically you would say at least double the deposit amount, plus first and last months rent before moving in.

I am from Iowa so our goal would be to use it in the winter months (dec,jan,fab) and try and break even off the income from the remaining months. 

Judges will sign off on it, but any judgment obtained by a method of service that is not allowed is void.
