Thanks to all those who encouraged me and gave solid advice.. appears that this judge (all are different I've heard) went straight to the matter of unpaid rent and gave the tenant 10 days to get out.

I have a story about the South Bend Code Enforcement office that sounds straight out of the first pages of the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy that I'll share once I get rid of my last house there.I make my money in a completely different business now and have kind of mellowed out on the real estate thing as a primary focus but I can't leave it totally and am good at it so I've decided the strategy going forward is to buy maybe one or two houses in the 40k range for cash in the Crown Point, Schererville, Valpo area and flip them for 60-70k.

I don't see the same growth and revitalization happening there as here in Riverside so it is a straight cash flow neighborhood.

My past investments have been of a very different variety--multi-unit with me living in one or formerly owner-occupied turned rental, so I'm just getting into purchasing straight rentals and looking forward to it.

Hi all,I found a listing I am interested in, it's a warehouse, 25x100 (was used as a auto shop last)Seems a warehouse should be pretty straight forward, since it's just a bare brick shell, right?

If you try to sail in a straight line, you will run aground.

I have thought of taking 50% of the selling price and adding extra on for my work etc, and then the obvious of maybe giving him a better deal than my hard money lender at around 20% straight-up.

As a seller, you would probably be lower than that because you're getting something else out of the deal (a quick sale at a relatively high price.)There are alternatives to straight owner financing.

Worst case would be them accepting the higher offer straight out without notifying me.

Not Sure what Steven meant by asking the contract to wait for payment until you sell as the proceeds go straight back to the SDIRA.
