I am looking at a 46 unit deal &  would love to know your strategy used to get seller to write you a check for a repair credit of 21k.

I initially started researching on Bigger Pockets to find discussions on strategies to weather the storm in a declining market because that’s the biggest fear for us to get started.Thank you for all the information so far and I look forward to being an active member on the forum.

I personally am not a fan of this type of investing, but its depends on your strategy. 2)  If you have good credit and the cash to put down, you finance the property through a bank.  

However, make sure you have a clear exit strategy.  

Do you think they get a better price with this strategy?

Shouldn't make much difference but wondered if I needed to use any other strategy to make a cash offer and then finance it without going through a refi...

Obviously most terms and the methods of strategies etc are useful in any market, but key facts and figures on financing, costs of rehabing, certain laws etc, are probably different.

In the case of a downswing, I would certainly think that one might look to move in to a buy and hold rental strategy, versus selling to owner occupants. 

If so, what strategy would you guys use to obtain this goal? 

. - not planning for the eventual transition of properties into a corporation (if deemed by your goals and strategy) from the beginning can have expensive consequences down the road  (as indicated by the investor with whom you spoke recently).
