For us one of the most important contributing factors in our success thus far is our ability to get a loan.

And this particular agent allegedly handles investment properties a lot.Personally, I think when I look at it that way, 85% or 89% is low - even if you account for the notion that the intended ARV may very well have been 150k and they list a house at 155k or 160k so as to "settle" for that number during negotiations.

If the balance owed exceeds your offer price, the transaction will require the approval of the debt holders unless the seller plans to contribute the difference, which is unlikely.

I'm looking forward to learning and contributing off this forum as well as possibly networking with other real estate professionals in the area.My main goals are buy-and-hold in the Denver area.

I hope I'll be able to contribute my own advice to this forum soon.

However, with Solo K you can contribute up to about $50K per year (based on your self-employment income), of which $17,500 could be contributed into Roth bucket.

I started out with 1,000 letters and hope to increase that as I get through the learning curve.I have found BP to be extremely valuable and hope to contribute as well.Thanks,Arlene

More of the Kickstarter, Indiegogo-RocketHub crowd that contributed to 'artsy' projects in exchange for 'rewards.'

Also, contribute to a Roth IRA.
