I like the terms of a "in my name" mortgage , rather than a commercial loan through an LLC, so that I can maximize cash flow and keep as much cash liquid as possible for the time being.

Those are good returns for passive investing and great liquidity.   

Perhaps-> There are coatings that are called Liquid Rubber (good stuff!)

The seller just wants to liquidate some of his assets which is why I think he’s selling it so low.

Stock market down so that helps them and the anticipated housing downturn will help too…but it’s a lot of money injecting into the system on top of the last 10 years of liquidity.

This was another off-market deal with an investor we represent that wanted to liquidate part of her portfolio.

Im located in Phoenix, AZ and saving liquid cash to be ready once the crash comes, back in 2010  purchased a 1 acre property with a 4 bed room home (livable) in Phoenix, AZ for $50k out the door.

Hey Lin, I would roll the closing costs via a seller's concession into the purchase price and go into the deal with a greater level of liquidity in the event something comes up in personally or professionally.

Adapt and overcome by investing in something liquid you know well and can control better while overseas.   

We have 40k liquid and about 100k in our home in Austin texas.
