As it relates to flipping, how do I protect myself from a buyer who may want to cut me out of the deal so that he/she can take over the property for a lower price?  

Hello ive been investing for a couple months now and have acquired 4 rental units and honestly i think if your looking for the best route to go for the financial freedom it would be that.

Another deal will come along that makes financial sense.

Did your financial analysis allow for this situation?

My Introduction to REI failure (for those interested):I’ve been bitten by the real estate bug three months ago and ever since then I knew this was my path to financial freedom.

However, please note that the elderly, disabled and children have some protection over a owner move in eviction.

Or if any entity is involved it would almost definitely be a different address for privacy and legal protections.  

There are a lot of protections in place to keep us from getting in real trouble... such as the title company doing all there stuff, and the appraiser doing his thing.Neighborhoods are subjective... and that's the point.  

I really badly want to buy rental property, and have been studying as much as I can about the types of properties to buy, but I just dont know how to pull money out of me a$$. any advice on trying to find some extra money would be great, I am tired of just getting by and I want to start down the road to financial freedom.

I'm here because I'm looking to start investing and flipping houses/owning rental properties, I'm not looking to have a show in HGTV, I simply want to be financially secure in the future.
