I'm wondering what the consensus is.Among the two options, which do you prefer to do and why?

You generally have no choice as banks require the property to be listed/marketed prior to looking at any contracts.

Looking to hook up with investors, preferably a local partner where we can take this area by storm.

The result is a lot of cans being kicked down the road instead of hard choices.

However, navajo white is a great choice for some areas!

Type of Financing - I prefer seller & private, nothing beats it4.

Tyler Beeson First choice your market.

of course, the atm will accept cash or checks, and they can used the counter, too, if they prefer.

It's a fantastic community, and I'm very glad I made the choice to join.

yes, that sounds about right, but in the $100k ARV range I'm finding it tough to find 80% deals.I try to stay in within 10 miles of my house, I avoid any neighborhoods that have a lot of rentals (which is sort of funny), etc.I'm having to look outside of my preferred neighborhoods/school areas (not school districts, but say in Mesquite, there are certain schools that renters prefer, so I really prefer to buy in the areas that qualify for those schools.Erik Drentlaw yes, that's the idea anyway, I haven't actually gotten myself to "pull the trigger" on any of those deals,,I try to follow my business model closely, and this is something that doesn't "fit"
