We took our 50K maximum loan allowance from my wife’s 401K for d/p of two properties we bought last year.

It can also go even deeper -- what if the loan AND the servicing are BOTH sold, BUT the original lender authorizes the loan servicer to use their trademark and branding, and authorizes the 1-800 number employees to answer the phone as if they were Wells Fargo employees?

After doing that you can sell the house for a lot more than you bought it so with like kind investments you have positive cash flow and appreciation. 

For example, a 3bd 2bt single family like the one I'm looking at is around $1700_$1800 vs same size brand new condo would be over $2500 and people still accept to rent.

I bought some properties in CA and I’d get the listing around 9am...

I bought the house.

I bought a lease option a couple years back.I signed a lease with the owner that gave me full authority - and full responsibility - for the property.

So while the process of issuing a note is very "clean" on paper, it might get messy in the real world.I just bought a nice single family in a top suburban neighborhood and rented it out to the retireing baby boomers with 200k income for top dollar.

Hi everybody, I'm brand new to this forum and brand new to purchasing investment property.

I bought my third property in another state because 1) I wanted to force myself to learn how to prepare a property for rent without spending a bunch of my own time working on it and 2) I couldn't find deals in my market.The latter was more due to inexperience.
