For example if 100k is being financed, the seller can include the interest cost in the price itself and agrees to take a monthly payment. on the surface it looks like 0% financing but actually it is not.

We've helped a few over the last year invest in the Atlanta market.On the surface, the numbers on your properties are very good.

Hi @Josh Zephir, on the surface the property you are looking at seems reasonable but there are a few things that give me pause and I would dig deeper into.  1.

I have been involved in the health and fitness industry for over 15 years and an increasing trend that I've noticed through literature and first hand experience is the surfacing of "specialty studios".

There are many investment properties in the area.The property also has space adjoining the detached garage - 1/3 was much earlier converted to an office but never rented out, the rest of the space is currently storage.2) He was offered $90,000 upfront with payments of $350/month for the next 13 years (totaling around 145k) by an investor which is what sparked him to want to sell it.

No, Chris said they look the same on the surface, so they are exactly the same no matter what.

I spend a lot of time in the ocean and pay little to no attention to the many sharks lurking below the surface.  

baking soda + hydrogen peroxide 3% + laundry soapy solution seems to work best to neutralize the skunks secretions from hard surfaces (and pets fur), spot test first though.for human skin, tomato sauce or ketchup helps neutralize more gently. 

A cosigner definitely takes a huge risk and on the surface, it seems like they should have tenant rights. 

This restaurant, on the surface, looked like a very classy wine bar/restaurant.
