@Keleisha Carter How are you going to recognize a deal if you don't analyse deals.

Have a genuine conversation.

If the owners accept, it will be challenging to get anything done by these lame property managers.My client recognizes it as a good deal and still wants me to try to get deal under contract.  

@Ruben Sanabria Both Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac (if you recognize those names) do allow 15% down for their loans.  

I have recognized my faults and am now looking to buy houses using financing. 

I suggest that you analyze 10 more, inclusive of multi-families, and then 10 more... you'll start to recognize patterns and the work will pay off!

Be ready to pounce, with CASH handy (or in this case, a credit line avail) and know your market well so you will recognize a bargain when you see it, FAST.

I can't wait to virtually meet many of you (I recognize many names as I was a passive reader for some time!)

Now CA handled that in most jurisdictions if the lot was created prior to about 1929 its not longer recognized as a legal lot of record for building purposes. .. though the  land Geek guys still buy and sell them as they can be sold just never built on ..  

You need to recognize the cost of increased complexity.
