.- Privvy is easier for seeing investor activity in the area and seeing the before/after of flips (how much they bought and sold it for) How do you find off market deals on Propstream? 

Hello BP ExpertsI have never considered renting out to Section 8 Tenants but now am thinking to do so.

How do you balance enjoying your life today and saving/investing for a better future?

I don't personally do that, but I know some investors use the public information act to get this information.

The seller must be thinking he is doing the financing in a seller financing deal.

I do not golf or pickleball, but I love scuba/snorkel and site seeing.  

Once you do that you will have a more clear understanding of how to deal with rental properties

Do you guys do both?

In your first example where you get a property under contract for $50k and then assign it to your company for $65k, I'm assuming that'd be a cash purchase so - while you technically could do that - it would serve no purpose and you'd have to pay an extra $15k at closing. 

I left corporate about 4 months ago to do real estate full time.
