Not sure about the secret sauce but I bet the hubzu website just got a bunch of visits. 

It's his connection to Gates, who I think is a horrible human.That aside, I'm a buy an hold guy so I like how he places his bet and then pretty much rides it forever.

No, wait, @Ben Leybovich is way too cheap for that...I'd bet he only bribed you $10 to start this petition.  

I agree with @Joel Owens that if you aren't looking to owner occupy then your best bet is small local/regional bank. 

HOWEVER, you will bet that the next Rental Ad I put out, I am going to emphasize all the above points.So far, because the buildings I own are in A or B neighborhoods in NYC, most of my tenants are working remotely.

The broker might be saying their price is a 5 cap, but if you dig into the financials there are probably a few expense line items missing from their pro forma, making the actual cap rate lower than 5.Betting on market appreciation on an already skinny deal isn't a great move.

I've been trying to stick to the South East, seems like the town's with more then 150k population is a good safe bet.

Tom, with that big of a profit spread for the wholesaler, you can bet the buyer will take issue and most likely think they are being scammed.I would highly recommend a double close for this one and while I agree that transactional funding would cost some money, the spread is so large on this deal it is well worth it to the investor buyer, especially since the purchase is only $27k, the fees should be under $2k.

You can bet that the builder would have sold them at the higher price if they could!

If I did I bet I would get a lot.
