First let me say that this site is wounderful, and very creative.

I've seen 800 square foot 3 bedroom 1 bath homes that I could barely turn around in because of the size and layout.

In REI, you can add value to the investment with your knowledge, work, and creativity.

Maybe some/all the creative minds at Bigger Pockets should put together a proposal and send it to him.

This would be my first attempt at a deal, here are the numbers on this duplex: Top to bottom duplex with both units having 3 bedrooms 1 bathroom.

Neighborhood is not great but definitely not a combat zone, Housing rate is about 950 for a 3 bedroom with separate utilities.

Its just like marketing for any other business .. takes a little bit of knowledge and creativity.

I feel like I am stuck because I can’t buy any more properties (except for seller or creative financing) and can not refinance any of my existing properties because of the 4 loan limit.

now i'm not saying every broker or seller will ask you these questions, but i am saying that 85% of the professional commercial brokers or sellers will. they do this to separate the tire-kickers from the players is what they say.so for all the people on here that has experienced this when getting started, how were you able to either sidestep these questions or answer them in a creative way that made the broker or seller feel comfortable in going forward and disclosing certain info about the property.

HM lenders do not want to lend out anymore money then thay have to so you need to be creative.
