They are asking people who can afford their rent to join the strike, in the hopes of sending a more powerful message to elected officials.Some strikers say that landlords will need help, too, and that government action could be coupled with financial assistance to pay for building staff and maintenance.

I've always been interested in making money and I think real estate investing can really help me one day achieve financial freedom!

Would this affect our buying power having this mortgage, or actually help us?

Hello BP family,Thank you for all your inputs that have led me on the path of putting together these blocks towards a building of financial freedom.

Truth is, I would have accepted a cash offer discount of 5%, maybe even 10% with the right ancillary terms, just to protect myself from the current market uncertainty (and many sellers will accept significantly steeper discounts than that for cash offers), but someone forgot to tell these particular buyers that 100% financing doesn't afford them any bargaining power.

That means more money in your pocket and then you might want to think about having financial freedom! 

I personally think this is the best way to get your feet in the game in SoCal and buying a SFR for your first purchase is not going to get you a good start to the ultimate goal of financial freedom unless you plan to rent out some of the bedrooms but with a family that’s hard.

You can find numerous BP articles on these strategies and they are very, very powerful strategies. 

If you have multiple offers, as the seller you'll have the power to work with your agent and the buyers agents to find a deal that works for both sides. 

(I would be looking in recreational/2nd home type locations for land that already had water, sewer/septic, power...preferably).
