Some will lend on that after a short seasoning period, say rehab the property and get a tenant in it.

With 5 mortgage payments, PLUS rental, we would be able to achieve full ownership of the property in a (relatively) short time span.

A short cut of sorts, that EVERYONE can take advantage of.

Short of "foot knocking" and "driving for dollars" I cannot think about manny other ways to find what you are looking for.

Short term, I am looking to get my feet wet, I want to learn as much as I can about rental properties, flipping, and buy and hold to gain enough information to be comfortable with my first deal.Long term, I hope to acquire enough rental property to produce enough passive income that would allow me to spend more time with my wife and newborn baby girl.I would like to thank everyone in advance for your knowledge and time in working with me.

Also on podcast #174 they interview @Dave Short.  

I have been in constant contact with the realtor/short sale specialist and they assure me on is going well.  

My questions: 1) In 2019, should I be concerned about my ability to attract good tenants without having central air in a SLC duplex built in the 1950s?

@Rick Santasiere and @Jonathan Makovsky, I'm trying to reconcile the language to make sure what I want to do is OK (short of talking to an attorney, which comes next).First, the statue Jon quotes includes the phrase "and for a fee, commission or other valuable consideration" as a prerequisite to the list of things a broker does (including collecting rent).

I am planning to close escrow on "B" and refinance it to pull some money out to buy "A" ( and since I may be short in cash bring on a silent partner on board).Eventually, I like to sell "B", and buy out my partner on"A", so would have "A" for myself.is this doable?
