In a seller finance scenario and my new posed scenario can I get both parties to agree to let me start paying 3-6 months down the road after the rehab and I start cashflowing?

I agree that there’s a fine line between aggressive but legal vs. reckless and punishable.I saw this gem from Will Rogers:  “The income tax has made more liars out of the American people than golf has.”

(Minimal competition, high demand, and 20 year operating history with repeat & longterm clients) Agreed!

I agree with you Engelo.

I agree 100%.

Also I agree buy direct through turnkey provider or broker.

For instance, someone making $500k a year and living in a very highly appreciating market might be extremely happy on a deal that loses $200 a month but is getting 5% appreciation on a 2 million dollar property in San Diego, butut that doesn't make sense for the investor with 30k and a lower paying job.When it comes to the book series I agree with you that the order doesn't make sense (having read both).

I generally agree that buying SFH as first investment is an easy way to test the waters; however, if you’re set on REI I suggest buying a duplex or quad.

This is only if the bank agrees to sell for less than the amount owing.

It's definitely priced to sell, but I agree, this would be more stress and more time.Please do let me know if you have any referrals for lenders and attorneys, thank you!
