I would add:Over-leverage: seeing people get owner finance and someone to toss them a total of 100% financing plus the costs of renovation sometimes crushes them even if they come in on budget and have the right ARV as they miscalculate the time it takes to sell as well as forget about all the other costs involved in a real estate transaction.

Obviously in a creative transaction there is extra appeal but even without the creative aspect it seems like a primo option - am I missing something?

The thought of buying near colleges has crossed my mind many times: an abundance of tenants & cash flow!

I would love to know the outcome of all who have posted or have experience completing a transaction with them.

New to real estate with a few transactions under my belt.

It’s really good to have a set of eyes (you and/or a bookkeeper) to make sure each transaction is going to the right LLC and/or property and is accounted for properly.

If so, I'm assuming you write a check directly to the wholesaler and they are out of the transaction?

However, the MLS can do much more than that.You can ask your real estate agent for a list of all-cash transactions over the last 90 days.

For transactions like this, the Real Estate Excise Tax (REET) in Washington typically depends on the property’s value and may be progressive.

As brokerages compete to recruit agents, "transaction fee's" become the outcome.
