So we’ve just had our offer accepted on our 2nd property in this crazy market and after celebrating our little win our lender has brought to our attention that being that our down payment and closing costs will be funded from our savings which we without knowing transferred our income tax from our checking to savings .

Cash for keys is your best bet, then any kind of health code violations if a municipality cares.

Its a great way to start the day off with a win, you feel great, and you free up time in your day for more wins.

Let’s say you win a consulting contract that pays you $100k per month (net) for the next 18 months.

Clearly, Joe wins the bidding war gets the house.

You are renting the property for $800, so you make $300 per month, I get more than my asking price, and everyone wins. 

I would believe as you get more experience and the track record is deeper the better you will win over the owners on leasing out single rooms. 

However I bet your market there they are really excited that someone would spend that kind of money bringing new product. on the west cost there are 100s of those going at anyone time.  

The bank wins the bid by default if nobody bids over the amount that they are owed.

Facebook is likely your best bet.
