I've seen forum posts by experienced investors in which they state that note holders rarely, if ever, exercise their option to call the note due.

The instance of the Raleigh PHA lowering HAP (the subsidy portion of the monthly rent) across the board by 10% is a crazy rare occurrence, despite the fact that its brought up on this site almost every time the subject of Section 8 comes up.

open houses rarely sell homes.

It's the rare deal or situation where an assignment or double close would work for me.

It was actually a combination of the two.

My wife and I combined generate low 6 figure income from our jobs, we have no car payments, and the mortgage on our house in quite modest.

You want to make sure that however you do your deal you have a good enough DCR (debt coverage ratio) to cover all the notes on the property even when times are tough.You could also look at finding a lender who will let your combine all 10 properties under one loan (blanket) and go to say 80% LTV taking the rest of the cash out for your DP.Hope that helps.JW

Sometimes one better than the other, depends on the situation.Resi mortgages banks rarely let you do in an LLC.

Personally, I only do earnest money on listed properties, and on a VERY RARE occasion with a private seller.The title company CANNOT play the role of an investment savvy attorney, unless they are actually investment savvy attorneys. 

Real estate and real estate investing will be my career because they combine some of my interests: focused hard work, monetary compensation related to my efforts, continuous learning, adaptation, and social interactions.
