If I sell for cash is it best to sell on my own or use a realtor and should I offer at a discount to get cash in this market.

Not a whole lot of experience but I did get tremendous traffic, most were qualified and I was able to pick an absolutely great tenant.I ran craigslist at the same time and didn't get near the traffic and got much more nonqualified prospects.

Jeff,It sounds like you are funding a loan (originating), not buying an existing note at a discount.

As we build our team, business plan, and organize finances we realize the tremendous importance of keeping tract of those assets and its financial.      

If my success depends on market appreciation which I don't control, then I'm not in control of the outcome and my exit strategy is weak.The only way that makes sense it to buy the property at a deep discount to the current market, and write the option price near today's market value.

Personally I won't buy a deal unless I can get it at a discount and or under performing so that I can improve the property and pull my $$ back out with in a few years. 

Will the selling agent in closing costs about 8%And I want some wiggle room that I can walk with some money and not pay to get rid of the houseYour deal is really thin if it's truly worth 100 and owes 96, you getting a discount of 4%Unless you can get a really good spread on the rent compared to PI TI, I would pass@Cynthia Hernandez

You will find this a tremendous resource for all of your real estate needs.

@David Peters - above everything else, structure a deal that's conservative...and then discount it further by at least 15%.  

Offer them a percent discount in exchange for valuable feedback.
