Might be able to get a contract with the buyer of the cherries and thow some cash at you upfront for signing a agreement to buy the crop but I don't know what the alternate bearing looks like on Cherries in Washington and the brokers may not be willing to pay upfront in that area... or a upfront lease payment from the renter...

Fourth, we wouldn’t need to take on debt to make the purchase and we’re comfortable with the costs and management of the place given our history with it.If we buy out the relatives, we would likely pay around $295,000, which we have available now.

So I looked at some local markets like Sacramento where I'm from and familiar with the neighborhoods but the cashflow would be so negative that I'd be paying out of pocket every month.Now I'm more inclined to buy a single family in KC as it seems the rates won't drop anytime soon so would like to get in the investment game sooner than later and hope for a rate drop in few years to refinance.I have been looking on Zillow, and recently connected to an agent to run numbers and seems I could make about $100-$300 after mortgage payment and insurance.

A week later the neighbor came to me again with a bill of $1075 for detailing telling mr he doesn't know who is paying but he wants the money this week!
