Or should I try to lock in several loans at today's low rates?

The average cost for a realtor is about $ 2000 per year to "hang one's shingle" out so to speak (licensing fees, MLS fees, signs, board fees. lock boxes, lock box entry cards, etc).

I've seen hundreds of investors lock down properties in the 60k-80k range with 8% - 10% rates of return.

Then they winterized and changed the locks on the house but they haven't filed Lis Pendens paperwork yet.

If I lock up a house with only an option price (no terms) for a certain time frame, should I be able to assign that option to purchase agreement to a buy & hold investor if I mention the seller would consider selling with a lease option?

Are you trying to lock up bank REO's are FSBO homes?

depending on your state you may need to file for a fictitious name in order to do a DBA.EXAMPLE:if i want to DBA 'lock and roll locksmithing' then i would need to file for a fict name.joshua green dba lock and roll locksmithing.IF my business name is going to be 'josh green's lock and roll locksmithing' then because my name is in the name of the biz, i would not need to file for fict name.NOW, it can get more complicated. i am assuming u are talking about you DBA (sole prop) and not a corp or llc dba. you can also have an llc dba xxxxx. that my friend is for another day :)you will ofcourse want to weigh the risks and benefits of both. basically though to answer your question: you can file for either in FL online in the matter of moments and it will be effective immediately and on the system within 24-48 hours.

I have read up on sub 2 investing and it seems like a very solid strategy to be able to lock up/ own properties.

Looking to lock down at least 5 properties (>65% LTV)Let me know if you have any interest.Thanks

Can I enter the property with a 24 hour notice to change locks, and provide the tenant with new keys?
