If so, the seller may need more than they're disclosing.Get some pictures because a picture is worth a thousand words.Once you've gathered enough of this information you can make a better determination whether or not this investment warrants moving forward.

If you are holding rentals I don't think the name is important unless you have enough rentals (several hundred to several thousand) that having a "brand" would be a value. 

The savings is in the hundreds of thousands.

If you can not pay rent and pay down a mortgage simultaneously compared to paying a couple thousand for a 2 bed unit, that's a win in my book. 

Not sure what your purchase price is, but if you could get it done for a thousand or two, it might be worth it.

Got my start over a decade ago with an on-site mentor who spent three days with me in my market, helping me get deals in my market while he was there, helping me get buyers for those deals while he was there, and teaching me everything I needed to know to not only pay for my training but launch a business that has grossed me hundreds of thousands of dollars over the years.I know it's hard to pick the right mentor.

Hello fellow investors,im new to investing, i had my real estate license for 3 yrs, spent thousands on starting my R.E.I. business i have tools and websites that allow me to get all the info on pre foreclosures (lender's attorney info, and borrowers home address), addresses of cash buyers, generic contracts (need a nys attorney to modify), i even have access to POF and funds (100% transactional funding & 50% buy and hold funding) but i can't seem to close my first deal.i understand i need to have my own attorney and cpa but i have no more funds to pay for their services. i also tried to do some wholesaling but nyc is a tougher market than i thought.any advice on what i can do?

They'll either bombard you with ads and email promotions or try to charge you ancillary fees elsewhere.There are hundreds, probably thousands, of previous posts about this question.

Eventually you will time it wrong and it can ruin your portfolio. 

City because on paper, a property may have a huge positive cashflow, but they see that sucked up and have to invest thousands more because the property was not maintained over the years.Thats why I always recommend having a property vetted before it's purchased.
