Basically, I'm trying to create a win-win situation, where I can buy a house with little money down and have a trusted tenant, while my friend saves a little bit on the rent.

Seven pre-owned homes sold w/in last 12 months, $90-160/psf varying DOM.

I enjoy working with people and would like to focus on serving the community and providing win win situations for myself, sellers and buyers.

Pocket 10s. 5-way action and three-bet pre-flop by the time it came around to me -- almost laid it down but was getting pot odds (and plenty of implied odds) with 5 players in.

Good point Tevis, lots of players out there.

Im not a big enough player to get non recourse loans (backed entirely by the property) yet, but that's the goal at some point - even though they are typically higher rates.

You really need a "team" of players in RE, buyers, Realtors, appraisers, an attorney, title people, contractors, you need boots on the ground going out the gate to go at this in a business manner and trying guru crap.

I really believe that the broker representing the seller is the other bidder just trying to get as close to the listing price as possible after he catches a fish.I read that someone placed a highest bid and the auction was due to close which it never closed and he was left trying to figure out why he didn't win the auction and it was back to the NO TIME REMAINING status again.

This is where you'll learn the language and the players in your area.

I have never used HM lenders or even private lenders. But In an effort to expand and take on more volume I have come to realize it is my only option for being able to hold more than 1 property at a time. Does anyone...
