Though I haven't worked with his company, he himself seems like a good person as well and was knowledgeable about the industry, professional and diligent.

@Rashard Dennis They usually require some skin in the game.

@Matthew John She should be in same industry from last 2 years that's all it matters.

They have more skin in the game then you do.Make sure you get clear title.

As a young man, trying to get in the game of real estate I do need help.

The past couple of months I've been trying to learn as much as I can about the real estate industry.

Would you investors even waste your time with such a discounted offer or is that just part of the numbers game?

And with a good tenant buyer that is willing to pay in a little extra per month toward the down payment, you can get them to work... and ultimately collect your profit on the backend, or on the second and third lease option tenants if that plays out.The clear advantage of going this way is... if you dont find a "GOOD" lease option buyer, you are not obligated to the sellers... just let the bank take it like they were going to anyway.Pre-foreclosure lists are easy to find, and because getting a short sale completed is a numbers game there are often many sellers in that niche that could not get the short sale done, and are going to walk... you can cut your teeth on those until you get your system fine tuned.On a side note... the other way to go is to get a mailing list of absentee owners from your county tax rolls, or realquest.com.

I own and manage a multi-tenant office building and a single-tenant NNN industrial property.

Thanks for asking :D I was introduced to the real estate industry thru lending.
