I recommend sitting back (crunching numbers along the way of course) and letting others ride the wave of low returns as you build up reserves.

They say that RE companies that claim to provide leads really only have weak web leads that have a very low, almost zero conversion rate.Any help or info with respect to these questions would be appreciated:1). 

If this PM were worth his salt, he would have presented the offer along with his own market analysis to either justify the low price or give you reason to reject the offer.I wouldn't deal with someone so flippant.

I have rented a 3 bed house in Texas and I call it my $1100 storage unit since I'm never there... 

There are still markets in the United States that allow either the beginner investor, or the seasoned expert to invest at low price points in B class neighborhoods.As real estate prices have generally recovered since the financial crisis, there are still pockets that remain, where if you know what you are doing you can purchase a home for between $60,000 - $100,000 in a solid B class area with infrastructure supporting a tenant and home owner demand (Just ask all of the Midwest folks)These homes range from 2 bedroom, 1 bathroom all the way up to 4 bedroom, 2 bathroom and even duplexes.Price sensitivity is important for many reasons.

The next book I read and I'd recommend to start with was The Book on Investing in Real Estate with No (and low) Money Down by Brandon Turner.

If you have good income and good credit you can qualify for interest rate low as 9%.... if you consider that low...

(Self employed general contractor, income low on tax returns, but own house worth $1.2 million, no debt)Would love other opinions on this, not just our realtor’s.

But navigating all of their red tape got me into a really great property with a really low rate so it was certainly worth it.

After looking at some info on cash out refinancing, I am now considering this as it would be a strong rental in a great area.My situation:This would be my 3rd  buy and hold...1 rental, 1 rv storage yard and this property.I have used a heloc for the 20% on each property but now if I hold this one traditionally my cash would not be enough to do another deal.I have flipped 1 house earlier this year with the intention of doing a few more to draw the heloc down to nothing by end of next year.If I do a cash out on this one I may not be able to pull all of my initial 20%/rehab out, but would be covering the notes/expenses and cash flowing some each month with a long term asset.
