Looks to me like they are marketing the whole project as an investment....with hundreds of investors buying these properties, correct me if I am wrong, with so many for sale it will drive the price down.

You will have to disconnect the whole thing.

BUT, there is certainly advantages for having "scripts" for talking and asking questions.i agree with the whole "what if" and "have you" question thingy.

the whole point in investing is not to use your own money.

For real estate investors in particular, seller-financing has continued to be a primary tool in achieving their investment objectives.

In the era of corportate downsizing, and very minimal job security, I cant think of a better boss in the whole world, than myself. 99% of all jobs are there to make someone else rich besides you.

"Flip This House" glorifies the process without showing the whole situation.

Again, the issue is:Purchase Price+Purchase costs (commissions etc)+Repair costs (including my time)+Selling costs+Profitmust be >= Sale Price.Without relying too much on home runs in either the purchase or sale price (finding a screaming bargain or getting a stunning sale price), is it realistic to find a deal flow of houses with purchase prices low enough to make the whole thing profitable, assuming you're looking to sell at the end rather than hold for rentals...

every area is differentand in my experience real estate is all LOCALi have find great properties that work..but bad properties only a few block away that don't work. your knowledge in area is a big plus...as for lender or buying whole in cash. i have to say.. do what is right for you. don't listen to others about lenders or banks. its all with the individual.... if you don't feel comfortable...buy all in cash. as for me...i like to leverage since its a form of asset protection and great return for your money. thankssunsmicro

Initially I was thinking you could cover the whole cost of the new place with the HELOC, but that doesn't work out unless you use both your home HELOC and the other property HELOC.
