This method is not regular financing, and you wont be speaking with any loan officers, but you could still purchase the home, get the title in your name, and have a real closing.

As my first year of real estate investing winds down I'm starting to think of pending tax preparations. I had a lot of questions, found a few answers, and am generally left with more questions. I purchased two propert...

Ignoring actual financials to make excel give you a lower valuation doesn’t smell like a more accurate method of valuation to me.

Craigslist, bandit signs, Bigger Pockets, and networking are all tried and true methods.  

Since I have been playing for a while and the industry is getting smaller due to regulations which reduces the traffic and the number of recreational players (which makes the game less profitable) I think is the moment to start transitioning to Real Estate.I am literally devorating everything in BP, just bought the 2 books of Brandon Turner (hey Brundon if you read this just let you know that I love the way you explain and the methods of teaching you follow, I really find them effective for newbies like me) so I will be trying to educate myself in RE as much as I can in order to be succesful in the future.If there is someone out there who is also starting in RE, in spanish market and want to connect me to talk about whatever or just for future networking, dont hesitate to do it!

If anyone who has expierence with this method of purchasing / acquiring Rental properties, please don't hesitate to comment , as well as any advice you may want to give :)Always appreciate any help and input I get from fellow members Thanks so much

If you're wholesaling, or rehabbing, your cost threshold may be much lower.Do I know what method will work well in my target market?

I am curious to learn and explore this area and hence I am here.

I have a blog with some classic books (all probably free at library ) on the topic..finally, it might be worth exploring getting new efficient ac, furnaces, hvac rolled into the loan (as that is like 15-20 percent of the deal) but may be tough to do before closing....or maybe tap equity in a few years for that...best of luck

My method is to message (text, phone, email etc.) landlords who have posted to local classified sites looking for tenants, and ask if they would consider selling their rental property.
