Hello everyone,First time user, long-time reader.I actually found this page because I was researching the same idea.John A, can you tell me if you had any success with this financing technique?

I have a lot of interest in RE investing and would love to learn different techniques from the Pros.

You generally won't achieve 2% on houses north of $50,000 except in some war zones and distressed regions.50% guide simply states that 50% of your gross rents will go to expenses over the life of the rental, of the remaining 50% take out debt service then you have your income.Rent $1600, means $800 a month will be eaten up in expenses, capital, maintenance, insurance, legal, accounting, utilities etc.If the area isn't too bad (no bars over windows, you feel safe walking there) it seems pretty decent to me, then again I am comparing that to whatever you can get in SoCal right now.Andrew

Yes, tenants are their customers, but they are providing clean, safe housing in return for rent.

Therefore, it's safe to say that the mobile home renter turned buyer for your purposes has been fairly conditioned to call a number for each time they want to rent.

We've used this MLS technique with incredible success:1.

I am seeing a lot more info here and elsewhere about AZREB, so might be worth the extra few minutes drive just to play it safe.

I was thinking paying my credit card bill on time every month was a good safe way to build credit.

My job is pretty stable but you never know what can happen and I feel if I purchased an investment property now (while I have the funds to do so) I can be building towards something long term.I would really like to hear from people who have used this technique (bought an investment property that was not owner occupied before buying their first home) just so I can get a little more insight.

In this case, I primarily want to help out the owners but eventually I would like to apply proven techniques to “make money with foreclosures” (as the gurus say) in addition to helping out those who are in foreclosure.
