Save up 25% down, and find a $50K rental somewhere where you can get a couple hundred dollars a month cash flow. 

@Erin Lennon There are plenty of reputable companies out there that will charge you a couple hundred bucks to list your property on MLS.

And power is just a whole other story.I buy primarily commercial buildings, industrial and office, so I'm accustomed to negative cash flow going into to a deal (many are vacant) but I also know they're going to deliver positive cash flow after the preplanned vacancy period when they're finally leasing up.I might suggest going back to the seller and hammering a deal that allows you to have several hundreds of dollars of positive cash flowing at entry.Sometimes free is to costly!

If this is a few hundred dollars you might want to move on.

There are hundreds of real estate investor groups across the country.

This is a trick for helping you to quickly evaluate dozens or hundreds of deals without spending agesdoing so.

Assuming they were astute individuals would you or could you trust any of them with thousand if not tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars of your money?

However, if the tenant is claiming damage to the grill itself and he wants a couple hundred dollars for a new one, I would need to investigate further.Either way, I'd inform the contractor and ask if he had reason to move the grill. 

The range she gave the agent was from $100,000 to $2,000,000.The broker sent her a list of every property in the mls broken down into 1/2 million dollar increments, I guess to reduce the size of each list (they're only about 300-500 hundreds listings long).She's run a brokerage before, I mean she literally kept our office running while I brokered, managed, and trained a large sales staff.
