It's absolutely not worth hiring property managers for two condos.

In general, whenever I see someone do this, my intuition is telling me that they are wasting money and it provides absolutely no protection 99% of the time.

Absolutely spend a few hundred bucks sitting down with a RE attorney before you try any of this.

It is absolutely a landlords market with properties going quickly and at a premium.

I use an option contract this way I get a fee as option consideration which is nonrefundable.Assuming that the seller can deliver clear in merchantable title to the end buyer then I can very easily deposit that option consideration and do with it what I wish.On the other hand, if you are not in a position to fund the and purchase the property then I would absolutely not recommend paying for title or any fees for that matter because you don’t know if you’re able to sell the property yet right?

Is there a good potential in SC... absolutely.

A lot of people commented about the benefits of CF over equity and while one member mentioned both- yes, I try to buy at a good price when possible, usually in areas I expect will appreciate, BUT those things are harder to predict and depend on the market more than CF IMO.A 15 year loan might make more sense if you buy 1 house- but if you are trying to build a portfolio, it absolutely does not.

In there there, it talks about building a business that you want to sell this year, not that you absolutely would, but doing so creates a business rather than a job for you. 

I have about $17000 in the bank as savings but dont want to delve into that unless absolutely needed and I have pretty good credit.

Buyer acknowledges that the property is sold 'AS IS' absolutely no repairs will be authorized."
