I have talked with my stepfather about investing in real estate on a number of occasions, and he's intrigued by the idea, but too gun shy to really pull the trigger.He bought, and owns outright, the house next to where he and my mom live and rents it out.

He said that for a few reasons, now just ins't a good time to pull a deal off.

I paid for all the rehab and improvements in cash so I would be able to refinance no matter what but in the end was able to pull my cash out and have a solid performing SFR.

In the end, the universities are a business, and they need to pull in as much tuition as they can.

Parks in my area were giving $3000 cash recently to have a home pulled in there.

Can one even pull off deals in commercial wholesaling?

Not that I think she would try to pull a fast one, but I would want a contract that leaves the deal done with the exception of signing the closing documents and picking up the check.

(not because they are pulling a fast one) They wanted to give the tenants a chance to get a VA loan to buy it, but they can't get financed right now.It might come down to them figuring out which they want more, husband coming home or tenants staying in place but I'm sure there's a way (albeit a creative way) to achieve both.

In my area of Texas I can pull up pretty everything I need online.

I've been working on getting a contract on a vacant parcel to build a spec on and randomly the bank ( BOA ) decided to pull the property and put it into their community initiative program.
