I had to have an awkward conversation with my favorite realtor when their broker suggested everyone had to pay a $700 “document fee” on every sale.

Awesome to see a new investor-minded person here.. do you have a favorite real estate success story already?

It’s my favorite city in Florida! 

Hello BP community,Most of the builders do not offer investors opportunity to buy the lots and they claim they are only for primary residence (i;e they will sell only if you are going to live in it (example Ryan homes, Pulte homes etc..) are there any builders out there who can sell to investors for "buy to rent" in Columbus OH?

Other than that one, FCI is actually my favorite--and I have used 5 over the last few years.

Some commuters to Dallas, because rent is cheaper in Sherman than Dallas.As far as DFW metroplex goes, probably one of my favorite cities for investment right now.My thought is look at newer homes vs the 100 year old ones. 

What I've had clients do in the past is make an offer without a financing contingency where they tell the seller that they are getting a mortgage to close the deal, but also provide proof of assets to show that they can/will close by liquidating the assets if the loan gets declined.

Should get a lower interest rate on your loan since these are liquid assets.
