Sometimes older folks don't regularly raise the rents.

So I have learned some of the above tricks- get some credit lines open, use them (but not over 30% of the limit) and pay regularly.

I also have 3 other buildings with a total of 8 units (all older and in need of regular maintenance).

I was only considering it because I have been in regular contact with the tenants lawyer, who is actually from a good firm (I assume working pro-bono or state funded).

.$1 is probably not going to fly much but I have heard many people like Justin that have said they can get people to regularly agree to $10.$500-1,000 is pretty standard with a bank, and on a retail MLS situation the agent will (rightfully so) try to get that same kind of EMD for their client.If a seller balks at a $10 EMD then you have to decide if the deal is good enough, as in safe enough, that you want to put "real" money on the table.

I don't regularly wholesale but my understanding is that you can use the standard forms and just put the assignable language in it with the buyer name and info.For a double close you should not even need to alter anything.That being said I think that many people will have their own contracts with them written the way they want to have a little more CYA stuff in their.

I have joined a REIA (Lifestyles) not at a the super charge level, just basic.I have read pretty regularly on these boards.

I bought couple more properties after we last interacted.

Yes I regularly foreclose on tax lien properties and sell for both large and small amounts.

There is enough proven demographic research and media on the subject based on actual facts and sales that for those in the know to see the facts are incontrovertible in its regularized growth and stability.
