Hi everyone,I wasn't sure whether to put this one in the buying and selling forum, or creative financing.

That our situation here too I bought two houses for rentals but got them under value because of being creative.

Then talk to him about reinforcing it and ensuring that no kids can slip through the gaps (if there are any).

You can look for a buyer here, we have some Cali folks that might be interested.I understand that this is a commercial second and that you are acting as a facilitator, you might check first with Cali laws and ensure you can do so without any license requirement to ensure you get paid on the arrangement.

Creative real estate deals are done by savvy investors all the time.

I just want to ensure I have covered all of thr bases before I purchase the value.

Make sure the vent cap isn't missing or rusted through on the roof, it will cause drafts and wind to blow out the pilot.Also the newer water heaters require more volume of air due to the addition of a heat sensitive diode to the thermocouple so you may need to ensure good air flow esp if it has a captive outside air feed.good luck

I already have a few creative ideas on my pitch to him, but wanted all of your guys input.

But, in the end, the contract is between the client and the broker and the broker is on the hook for ensuring everything is done correctly, legally, ethically, etc.Generally, you would have an independent contractor relationship with your broker (you'd be the contractor).

I am sure that one in a very similar situation could have found some other creative means to obtain the apartment building, still keep the 401k and have best of both worlds.Roth or traditional, a 401k or IRA is Not money in a hole in the backyard, it is a great tool that can be used to grow it using RE as the vehicle.
