Hi @Lyuba Barrington this sounds like a highly motivated seller.  

"[previously asked details of the house] Wow, your house sounds amazing!  

It sounds like the others actually sent money and only checked things out when they never received their funding.While this makes me the lucky one, I am still left to look for funding!

Look at what's going to be more cost effective long term

Sounds like your end result is that you would like the agent to share some listings with you that have been on the the market for a long time.  

So far, the subject-to method sounds interesting to me.... or any other method that does not require a lot of money down.I start a 3 day class tomorrow=D I'm also really impressed at the resources on this site. 

Sounds like a few red flags to me, no keys to house and they are telling you that you may not be able to inspect the house. ??

And if it sounds too good to be true, its usually not true.

That all sounds great, assuming the investment performs the way the example works.  

If you are holding onto a rental for 7 to 12 years, a few construction delays will barely effect your IRR annualized.2) Flips have less margin because you have to pay 10% in closing costs.3) Flips are seasonal at least in areas with four seasons.
