I was able to pick up a very clean 21 ft fridge at the Habitat store for $180.

You need to study and get good grasp on NOTE buying -- if seller wants more down payment --for whatever reason -to buy another house or car -- you can sell partial note --say for three years worth of payments -- proceeds go to seller --you make payment to Note buyer --after three years Seller gets the payments.Its been done on Commercial also -- I have seen my clients --do that on Hotels and Gas stations ( C stores ) --many many times -- even I have Brokered one of the Seller Financed NOTE and made $5000 for making two phone calls and sending in papers by mail.

There are lots of secured credit cards out there, but Bank of America is local & they don't have any crazy fees.Do NOT overapply for credit or it will come back to haunt you.After you have 2 Visa/MC in hand for 6 months, go to a store like Macys and apply for instant credit.

j, this has got to be some kind of commercial office building or warehouse...lalana, hardmoney is great if the numbers work after paying all the points and interest, but what happens once that loan is called due??

I get more than 6% sometimes on my deals.The brokers/agents going out of business has been touted for decades and it still hasn't happened.On flips when the market was hot any idiot could buy a property and make a ton of mistakes.With everything rising they could still most of the time eek out a profit.If they really knew what they were doing they could hit a grand slam.Today you have to do everything perfectly to preserve your margins.You have to go after properties that regular home buyers can't get financing on or are too ugly for them to want.Investors looking to buy paint and carpet only jobs to flip are looking for a needle in a haystack.I don't deal with wholesalers much when I list an REO or a commercial short sale.All they want to do is collect a fee.When I list it the bank and or the seller in pre-foreclosure knows I can easily find them an actual buyer who wants to own the property for awhile and does not need a wholesale price.The bank doesn't care about the wholesaler trying to be a middle man.The bank wants the highest net and so does the seller in pre-foreclosure usually to reduce their 1099-C phantom tax potential.My friends that flipped during the hot times form years ago are now doing development projects redoing downtown warehouse spaces for conversions using government grants etc. to offset costs.They aren't really playing in the residential flip market anymore because of higher risk now and lower profit margins.

You get no meaningful warranty, you may be violating local laws and building ordinances, and you have no real assurance that the guy isn't installing stolen property that grew legs and walked out of his employer's warehouse.

Would that be $36 because you drove to the store twice?

Here's my plan for finding a renter -- Go to a hardware store and buy a bunch of "For Rent" signs, put my cell phone # on them and place them around the neighborhood.- Place an advert on Craigs List.- Charge a $25 application fee to run a credit report.- Call their employer and confirm employment.- Call previous land lords.Getting a good renter is probably the best thing that I can do going forward, so any suggestions from the group on how to find then then screen them would be great appreciated.

Commercial takes in a large arena of transaction, I assume you mean a residential complex, not a drug store.
