I have a tenant who wants to buy for cash, so this is a FSBO/no realtor involved.

I live in the Denver area and looking to get involved with real estate here.

I’m no stranger to the BP podcasts but I’ve decided it’s time to get involved in the forums.

I came up with $2.1M using a very similar method.

It might be worth a quick check with an attorney to understand your liability and your obligations.I don't pretend to know anything about it, but having stolen goods installed, especially if you have personal knowledge of the circumstances can't be a good thing to be involved with.

A buddy was telling me that he heard of a method of getting financing via buying an established company and leveraging the company's equity to obtain financing.Is this real/legit or should I tell him to beware?

So whats all involved with the purchase transaction itself what needs to be done on my part and the sellers part. also, any suggested reading on this topic would be good as well. 

If you all hadn't mentioned that in Texas the zestimate value is not accurate, I would have been wasting lot of time on properties just because of that value.I think even if Zillow's and other similar listings get very accurate, I'd still have an RE agent involved in the process to make sure I wasn't forgetting something.

If they are under 20, then involving them in the development and subsequent day-to-day management (well, weekends and school vacations, really, when you are talking about a paintball place) of a Paintball facility would afford them an opportunity to learn how to run a business (and how to delegate and hold both themselves and employees accountable).

I have yet to really look into commercial, but I'm trying to keep this to 20k to spend to keep the common investor involved.
