The real real estate billionaires aren't doing that stuff, fyi. 

I wanted to help them out and minimize their loss and saw an opportunity to get a property slightly below market because of my commission savings, immediate mortgage and maintenance relief, in addition to keeping a lower short term interest rate How did you find this deal and how did you negotiate it?

It’s awesome to see your excitement for real estate.

Joining BiggerPockets is a fantastic first step – it’s where so many great real estate journeys start.

I have always sought out those that I respect and asked for the opportunity to talk.  

With one successful flip under my belt, I'm eager to connect with fellow investors and expand my knowledge and network in this vibrant real estate market.In addition to my passion for real estate, I’m also a skilled electrician.

I usually use the FMRs for the area as a minimum rent, but if you can attract non-S8 tenants, that works too.Can you share any numbers on the opportunity: purchase price/door, any rehab costs, ARV? 

Not to mention the opportunity cost for $47K?

It's a great way to talk through your plans and goals for real estate with people that actually understand!
