In my limited experience, the hedge funds I know of won't pour you a cup of coffee without you bringing a number closer to $500K to the table.

I expect to add another property next year to bring total gross up to 20K or better before I start leveraging these assets to acquire 1 or 2 properties in 2013.Jon - I don't know if they even go sledding on the hill here anymore.

Therefore they can bring in less money than a equal house being lived in.So the $s say my goal is flipping but play the renting game.

Pretty useful for following up on your deal to bring it to a close if you notice they've looked but haven't signed yet...

Not recommending a theme, but maybe something somewhere a little out of the ordinary to differentiate your house in the buyers' memory.

If they do not bring anything to closing, where does the down payment actually come from???

Experience managing your own properties would be a plus, but an incredibly resilient positive attitude is also something you'd want to bring to the table.

I'm a brand new hopeful investor with no money of my own besides what I bring in with a 28k/year job.My plan was to start marketing right away.

Thank you guys for bring me back to real life.

The other possibility is that the unit is being sold by an investor who has been negotiating a short sale with the bank - hence the requirement that the buyer bring CASH ONLY.
