Sure, taking a trip cost money, but a few hundred or thousands of dollars is a tiny percentage of a real estate investment.

Then what is the difference and if you put that money elsewhere, how much would you make?

It's a great place for skilled negotiators to make money. 

Everywhere I go there's all these experts and gurus selling courses but I just need to find that first deal especially since I don't have much money now and I'm willing to do what needs to be done to find those deals whether it be raw land or actual properties, residential or commercial.

Looking for something that helps factor in all variables, fixed costs, interest paid on hard money loans, reno costs, etc etc. 

I've been told by my attorney (i'm a private money lending business owner) that we do not accept payments post maturity unless we do a new written extension or loan modification with agreeable terms.

Look for hard Money for %80 of each property, then do a cash out refinance and pay the hard Money Lenders.

As a property manager, I would wait until 7/1 to start the eviction process so you can check to see if they have vacated prior to spending the time and money to file an eviction.

- $500,000 Purchase Price- $0 Down Payment- 4% Interest- 30 Year Amoritzation- 10 Year Balloon- Monthly payment: $2,387Since this deal was so good, with no money down, my acquisitions manager is getting 20% equity in this property.

That money is sitting in an account earning close to 5% so we are not complaining.
