Why bother,, just disclose to tenant that the service is hooked up to their meter and give them a monthly discount towards the rent.. or keep the electric service in your name for that unit and charge like a hundred buck a month more for rent..

In my experience working with investors they usually mean they want discount agents to work for a fraction of the price that the resale market pays...So what do YOU look for or offer as an Investor-Friendly agent?

Use the notes to acquire more real estate.Go find a property and offer one on the secured mortgages or notes as the down payment.Or - same as above but ask the seller to take back their equity in an unsecured note, than get a new mortgage.Or - use your note as a down payment and secured the seller's equity with a first or second mortgage.In the mortgage you are creating for yourself make sure.........you have soft payments and interest since you become the payeehave a first right of refusal in your mortgagea discount for early pay-offa substitution of collateral clauseand a stutter clauseGood luck - Charles

I have a deal im looking at from a turnkey dealer and want some advice on which approach to take.Traditional financing w/ 20% down w/ my own money.Traditional financing using my mom's HELOC, use cash flow to pay down loan and her HelocMy mom's HELOC for entire purchase to get a cash "discount" of 2-3k, then use cash flow to pay down heloc or refinance out of it after seasoning then repeat.I know it will depend of the person, know that I am not a debt snowballer and don't mind high leverage.

So you won't be buying very distressed property at big discount.

Either in re-selling for a profit or buying at a discount. 

I'm currently in a two family house and thanks to BP have realized that moving into a bigger unit mix will help me house hack and actually make money in the process as opposed to just getting a discounted mortgage.So my question is has anyone hacked into a commercial sized property (meaning 5+)?

Average lakefront properties are basically 60' wide and 125-150 deep.

In the one situation, my buyer obtained access to enough funds to cash out the land contract in a couple months and I was happy to allow that (I even gave him a bit of a discount on the purchase price).
