He had played me pretty successfully against other investors before and I so I am leery of extending as he is ready to close though I am confident he is also willing to extend.

I'm the Realtor only for now hunting properties for a handful of clients to buy, but looking to invest in the same type properties and areas myself down the road, so I'm searching for properties as if it were my money in play. 

Buy 3 single family homes ( around $40k-$50k each) and then do a HELOC to get 3 more houses and continue with the snow ball effect.Or ask to a investors bank for a bigger loan using those $120k-$150k as down payment to buy rental properties of course.Thank you!

We will move on and continue the search for small multi family in San Bernardino country.

The original property will continue it's life and will contain the same basis, same accumulated depreciation as your original property.

I do have mls I’ll have to look into the “hot sheets” still playing with it

So working to increase that through my day job and continue to learn and look at deals that come up.

I think of every property I buy as a "slow flip", I don't even try for the home run, I'm playing Moneyball.
