Either pay cash for it or get a low interest C.C.  

I know a lot of investors have done very well in Peirce County but I just haven't learned or know enough about that market to make an investment there.Washington state properties are expensive and can be difficult to make breakeven let alone cash flow at this moment due to the combination of high prices and interest rates. 

I currently split my time between the UK and Costa Rica, so I’m fully remote in this business.I’d love to hear from experienced co-hosts—how did you find your first properties?

So a loss of about 55k We did a lease to own option so I could immediately take over expenses but keep their primary resident loan and interest rate.We agreed to a deal which would cover all their expenses at closing, their remaining loan balance, and $45,000.

In such cases, using the land trust-to-LLC strategy can mitigate this risk.

Has anyone ever done this?

Looks like you have a ton of experience and will be a good asset to this group!
