With limited credit availability how would you go about acquiring a property?

They are always holding events and you can acquire properties through the people that you meet and learn more about buy & holds.

Hi Chad,Michael has a good point about the building next door...In your calculations, I noticed that you were missing some costs to acquire the property such as the closing cost and inspection cost.   

I often wondered how to handle a deal where the end buyer has acquired bank financing.  

Hi BP folks - any Quickbooks DIYers out there?I just started doing Quickbooks effective 2014 and got some help from a bookkeeper to do the journal entries from the HUD1's to add the rental house assets I purchased thi...

My only experience in REI so far has been a buy and hold property i acquired with typical bank financing (which so far has been going fantastic!). 

Can I come back and say 'sorry mr seller, I'm not able to acquire the proper financing, but I can rent it from you for $700/month and I'll buy it from you in a year'?

For example, if you are buying a refrigerator worth $100 for $60, you are paying at 60 cents on a dollar.I'm not sure if it can be used when also considering ARV and rehab costs since both can vary considerably based on how much you spend on a rehab and how lucky you are to find a buyer to pay so much more after the rehab.In terms of real estate, I would think it would mean the same run-down house might sell for 100k on the open market but you were able to acquire it for 65k then that is 65 on the dollar.

A short-term goal (1-5 yrs) would be to acquire 10 - 15 units with a cash flow of $200/ea. 

If it's in contract, and the lease states it, that's what you are acquiring.
