Sounds good in theory, but, realistically, how many such (extremely foolish or desperate) sellers are out there?  

I'm not sure if this will work out realistically, but I'm hoping to simultaneously negotiate all my deals from both end (try to purchase for cheap from seller and sell it for a bit higher to end buyer.)My fear is that I would get stuck with a property, so I hope that if I find a buyer for the property the same time I negotiate to purchase, I can assign the contract without fear of being stuck with it.

Yes, I'd like to get a 30-year fixed rate loan and I'd like to get a high LTV (realistically 75% seems to be the max, but higher is better...).

Hi All,We are looking for our first property to invest in and want it to be a multiple family that needs some rehab, financed using an FHA 203k loan.We are struggling finding a general contractor that can give us a realistic price for the type of project we want to do.

Make a realistic offer based on what its worth to you.  

Started crunching numbers and that just does not seem realistic.

If it's not realistic to build about a 2,500 sf elevated house with high quality finishes for under $140 psf then I'll move on to plan B.Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

I imagine that having actual inspections done, conservative yet realistic estimates on repair costs(provided by contractor possibly), among other things.

Be realistic, when newbies go elephant hunting with a BB gun, they usually aren't too successful.

I believe I'd like to house hack a multifamily this year to see what I think about being a landlord, making sure buy and hold is a realistic long term strategy for myself.
