That route would put me out of the game altogether.With this background now set,i mean to ask:if you were in my position,how would you proceed to structure a no-money down in this instance?

Looking back I was prolly super naive about how the whole game works... however that was like 15 deals ago.  

I am looking to build a multifamily portfolio and network with those who have first-hand experience.

I think it's a cool and proactive approach, as well as a number's game so it may sensible and effective for some snd not for others.

The owner is an investor looking to reduce portfolio and focus on wholesaling sheriff sales. 

You are possibly leveraged too high to make this deal with lender. they may be skeptical, because you may not have enough skin in the game(YOUR MONEY) some one financing the down payment is normally a no from a lender on investment property

On the side of building a portfolio of investment properties in the future, I'm evaluating getting a job in Real Estate too because I'm passionate about the industry and because it can be a path to learning as much as possible about Real Estate generally while earning money, save, and then invest myself.I think it's Ok to ask for advice here, so here it goes.

My question is I usually make anywhere from $900 to $1500 every two weeks but I want a game plan or even a mentor that can help guide me to my first deal or give me a process I can follow.

Also, create pages in your Welcome Book that have pictures of the remote controls and explain exactly the sequence of buttons to press to use cable, DVD, or the game system. 

Make the payment similar to his rent so you know he can survive and pay on time .I’d rather have the guy give some money down so he has skin in the game .
