I know these two houses are good investments the numbers all work out except that i don't have the cash!!

It didn't work out that way but I'm glad I gave elearning a try....Kudos,Mary

I have an S corp in another industry that is cash intensive.

My MBA was my way of casting a safety net just in case real estate as my primary income didn't work out. 

You do not need to pay the Realtor a commission on the house, but perhaps you can work out a set fee or hourly wage for them to facilitate the transaction.  

But unless you are going to roll out an expensive and intensive marketing campaign...

Then again I haven't bought my first property yet so when I think of it now I wonder if you can put your finances name under your Florida home and your name under the New Jersey home and work out fine.

Just listen to them and everything will work out.

The terms I am prepared for is paying a higher interest rate to the seller (6-8% or even 10-12% if the numbers can still work out).

Of course if you are a straight shooter then because of your relationship with a client you may actually work out what works out well for you as a contractor.
