Hi Basit,It's probably been a combination of outbid, or out contingencied, and a bit of financing at the levels we want. 

We would all love to have that note that has 5 years of perfect payments, 800+ credit score and a 20-25% down payment. 

That's a horrendous fallacy and a weak mindset to think that real estate agents are buying the best multis.

I just acquired one from a PM where they were charging a tenant a resident benefit package and a building protection plan.  

its most unfortunate that you had to go through this deception and theft from someone who is considered a professional in this business. we definitely appreciate you putting the warning out about this character. as hard as it is to find a reliable experienced contractor nowadays its even harder to find one that's not a crook and a liar and that's truly pathetic.   

I'm looking for something in between a turnkey and a fixer upper.

Choosing between a single-family home and a duplex is a classic real estate investor dilemma.

@Ilir Livadhi I think you are referring to property wholessalers telling you how much the rehab will be - and as you see, their numbers are often not based on reality.

CompetencyAfter 4 and a half years of Dave’s mentoring, attending Strategic Investor Alliance meetings (accredited investor group in the Philly area), and thousands of accredited investor calls, I know a good deal when I hear/see one.

It seems like there is no catch, would they let me buy a property this month and a property the next month for instance if I have the 25% down+closing costs and can prove that it rents for a decent amount more than the mortgage?
