Hi Brandon,My first piece of advice would be, don't buy a condo!

You get a piece of paper from the courts telling you to leave. 

I honestly believe that if you can hustle enough to be a wholesaler, you'll make more money as a Realtor.The big piece is to find something that grabs your attention.  

With the $ i take out I would be creating more rental potential on my current property and put a rental cottage on a piece of land i have in Maui.  

Over the next 12 months, we will be implementing financial and operational procedures, on-boarding the asset to 4M Capital’s platform, and carrying out capital improvements.Major Deficiencies:-8 down units (demo'd to studs)-High vacancy and delinquency-Poor management-Deferred maintenance  Upgrades / Capital Improvements-Bring down units online-Install new heat and air systems -Install new doors / windows-Add amenity package-Upgrade kitchen / bathroom / appliances -LandscapingDeal Economics Construction BudgetA few cool shots with the drone.. don't let the dreary weather fool you, this is a great property on a fantastic piece of land, just needs a lot of elbow grease and a little TLC.   

I was somewhat vague on this post in a first attempt at putting this idea to paper and getting others to track the thought process so I apologize there are still some missing pieces to the puzzle here.

The second anyone puts out their marketing piece, the recipient WILL do an online search to see if it is real.

Walk slowlyImagine being 6'5 and tripping over a piece of carpet that was pulled up that you didn't see, and as you're falling to the floor in slow motion, you say to yourself "I did this to me".

We closed the deal as a partnership, he put down the majority of the down payment with the understanding that I would pay him back the rest after close by either taking a HELOC or cash out refinance on my primary residence (worth $550k, I have $380k mortgage, I owe him $40k so this should be a piece of cake).

I don't want to miss out on any important questions that might bring me issues if I don't ask them.Also- I know to keep in mind not to overwhelm the seller with a flood of questions about the property so...I was wondering what basic (But Vital) pieces of information do you ask a Motivated Seller when putting together a offer for a property?
