@Jessie ReddWelcome to Bigger Pockets.

I’m sure the GC knows that they are not getting the job on every job they bid on it’s just part of the game.  

Make sure the payment is higher than your payments on the house and pocket the difference and the down payment.If you want any more info on any of these strategies, you can message me and we can go over specifics.

They are likely to send their off-market deals (pocket listings) to investors they've worked with in the past and know will close so that they can get paid.

I'm already deep into a few podcasts and on my second Bigger Pockets book.I'm in Atlanta, GA and I'm looking to make a seller finance offer on a property in Moore, OK.

@Kunle AdetayoWelcome to Bigger Pockets.

As well, and assuming necessary, once done, you can advertise this upgrade and the positive resulting heating and cooling bills in future marketing when the need arises.For straight rentals (not a property sold via Lease Option, CFD, or other Owner Financing), I never pass large expenses on to my tenants (pretty much anything over $300, unless their fault), but assuming this is a defect or need that I did not see in my pre-purchase home inspection report, I will just deal with it out of my own pocket and earn a bit of positive "good landlord capital" in the process.Good luck with it!

I also prefer that the managers share the risk alongside me - via skin in the game and/or profiting only after I have my capital returned along with a preferred return before the manager/developer makes any profit. 

My name is Lisa and I'm new to the Bigger Pockets forums.

I have been reading books on REI and listening to Bigger Pockets webinars, forum and the Marketplace for the past year.
