Now, this is not all agents/realtors, and that's why it's imperative to find someone who you trust and looks to build long-term relationships, and not someone just in it for the quick money, but it definitely was a chunk of them.

I was talking to an investor who told me if he bought my property, he would borrow money from a hard money lender for a few months and then refinance with a regular lender. 

And the simple task of directing the money to be sent to a second title company would constitute you having constructive receipt of the funds. 

Just remember, this is bad situation for the previous homeowner, they likely have very little money and may not have a place to move to.

We still have some tenants that bring rent to the office instead of paying online. What security boxes or other solutions do you use to insure the rent is as secure as possible before taking it to the bank? 

@Craig JonesMight find a hard money lender for a short term but it’s gonna be really expensive

Good afternoon everyone! Im new to real estate investing and have a question concerning my first property. Ive found a place (duplex) to house hack hack that I would like to buy. Financially this deal makes sense; how...

I'd also recommend dumping the garages there's almost a total loss on that unless you are putting units above them on a dense infill lot for additional units it's not worth the cost of construction. build cost is pretty high for your market for three story suburban walk ups. we could never build at that price and make any money. suburban sells for 160k a door in our market with land. get on yardi make sure you Arne't going to lose money on it.

Do you provide consumables (toilet paper, coffee, paper towel, etc.) for your clients or do you set aside money for to replenish?

Moving forward, save religiously, build your credit, and limit unnecessary debt.
