But they do eventually close.

Not saying you won't eventually find a rent-ready house at a nice discount to market, because eventually you will, but it'll be a more difficult hunt.Obviously, some investors who don't have cash will use hard money to purchase and rehab that distressed property, then refinance it to a permanent loan in 4-6 mths.

I'm really hoping to eventually get into rehabbing.

My plan is to, eventually, invest in multiple dental offices as well as residential/commercial real estate.

Right now I have free time, since I am just part time at my current job and getting my license, and I know some people are probably lacking in the time department and would love to be able to lend some of mine.My real estate goals are to invest in small multi-family properties and work my way up into apartments, and eventually development.

Eventually the self manage will max out your time and limit your growth.

So, the risk of holding on to it for that eventual increase in residual value is probably about $6000 to $8000 per year.

I have my license mainly for MLS access as well as access to distressed properties and eventually to List my own rehabs.

My eventual goal (5-10 year plan) is to hold a portfolio of several rental properties that create a primary income for my family.I wish all of you the very best in your real estate ventures, and I look forward to connecting with many of you in the near future.Cheers,Josh

Of course, you could go it alone in small claims court; it'll take some time and effort but you should be able to eventually get a judgment if you keep after it.
