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.

However, a growing, happy to refer you customer base, can be acquired or built but not franchised, IMO.PS - I'd pick Northern Atlanta OTP.  

Most note buyers seem to come from RE, adapting skill sets from that point of view is rather flawed, especially those thinking they will acquire the property as if they bought it.

My goal is to acquire multi unit and/or condo rentals in the Chicagoland area following a basic buy and hold strategy and look forward to using BP as a resource for achieving thus goal.

You combine this with the 10% discount coupon and you save 20% on each purchase.Every time you acquire a property, Lowe's and HD will typically send you a 10% discount coupon.

We are looking to acquire properties I'm the area and would love a good referral.
