I feel like I have two options here:Rent the property:Downside: Significant capital tied into a deal that loses about -$200/month in negative cash flow.

Told my wife this is just a wholesaler with no ability to close 1k em up is a joke in a half and these poor people are going to lose the 10k deposit to me and lost their renter and back to the farm .. they are devestated.Now their agent representing them is a bozo as well to let this wholesaler come in there with their pack of lies. so there is that too. 

But, I wouldn't push on this unless you're willing to lose the deal.

Note, even if insurance pays for all the damage your property suffers, you still lose.

If you do not create interest quickly, you likely will lose your prospect's attention.Fear - seems to be the consistent reason many have not developed this invaluable communication skill.Tip for you - Starting any conversation with a simple Hello.Cheers,Jeffrey BaxterPS  Love to share my story as well with any that has an interest.Goal -  Looking for small multifamily residential properties, that are in a decent community, in any state.

This means I gain equity through appreciation and my cash flow increases over time.You could pay all cash for rental properties, but you lose scale and time.

Of course, you don't....So in order to possibly save yourself 20%, you are willing to take the risk of losing way more than that in time and money?

I've done fairly well on startengine.com had three larger returns in three years out of 9 investments so am ahead of my expectations. but remember all could fail so do your due diligence and do not put in more than you could afford to lose.

You still make gains by positive cash flow and equity gains with every mortgage payment and you are not in jeopardy of losing the property if you lose your job.

Yes, you lose the  thrill of the chase, but there’s much to gain for many investors.
