You can get his property with a lease option to buy as is, agree on the price, you cover his loan payment plus something bonus, then you turn around and advertise that you are lease optioning a home as a handyman special.  

T stuff, i like to use 20% as a fudge factor, it normally gives me enough room if i missed something, and if you get something at a bargain, or you get a good contractor for cheap, Bonus for your wallet.  

I was not able to upgrade my membership but I did learn some things while I was a member.I'm currently helping a couple of investors near my area so that I could get more hands on exposure to the industry.

BiggerPockets was the result of the research and I have since been taking in as much information as I possibly can.My long term goals are to run a successful real estate company with broad exposure to different types of deals in several markets.

ADDITIONALLY to this (this is the bonus ball) the developer has guaranteed 5 years rental income, weather they find tenants or not, i still get my $650/month rent cheque (-8% for management fees).

Hi BP family,In the next couple of months, I will be renting my primary house as my first time rental property and I was wondering how can I have the least exposure to my tenets?

If someone can help it would be great, the deals of the property are below;Single Family 2 story3 beds, 2.5 baths w/upstairs bonus room2248 sq. ftARV = 170k - 180kProperty needs paintLinoleum in foyer, kitchen and baths need to be replacedCarpet needs professional cleaningWholesale/assignment fee 7k - 10kAny help given would be greatly appreciated.Thanks

It is maybe a bonus some day assuming I am not killed in a car accident tomorrow or the place burns down and the insurance comes up short.My first option is always to make money today not maybe tomorrow.

We have saved up BAH, OHA, hostile fire pay, tax free from deployments, re-enlistment bonus money, etc. to get a down-payment on properties. 

As an added bonus, I plan to provide my services to help my fellow veterans, active duty and other public servants find their own ideal properties to own, rent or invest in, as a veteran myself, and one way of giving back to the community.
