Great question, I myself am starting over in new market and trying to get up to speed quickly.  

Tell them you will pay them cash for a quick close.

although if you can move in an out really really quick that can mitigate.when I ran my HML in PDX  the guys I saw pay the most were the smaller rehab contractors who were basically buying a job.. they figured if they could make wages plus a profit.. they would take on skinnier deals.... those deals would not work for an investor who does not strap on a tool belt.

He was a frustrated landlord and wanted out quick.  

@Russell Naylor,Thanks for the quick reply!

I've been learning as much as I can as quickly as I can I'm excited for the future!

Thanks for the quick responses!

In order to get ahead of the pack (ie. obtain "bigger pockets" more quickly), a better question would be: Is this Duplex UNDER priced (because unless it is, why be interested)?!

The lease is always our guide.

;) I bet the Bel-Air mansion is also in the name of a trust or LLC, and I bet it is in a different name than any other properties they may own ... rich and famous quickly learn how to become rich and anonymous, but the truly smart rich folks never seek out fame in the first place ...
