Would you recommend them?

I currently am a part-time real estate investor that will be leaving my sales job at the end of the year to start investing full time in real estate.

Generally, all passive income in an IRA would be sheltered from taxes, however if you are using leverage then portion of the income derived from the financed portion of the property would be subject to Unrelated Business Income Tax (or UBIT).

You all need to go after motivated sellers, not just off-market sellers.FSBO are all about offmarket, but most of the time FSBO want market value.So to answer your question, and to be more helpful and of value than you think...here is what you need to do.Distinguish off market sellers, from motivated off market sellers, because this distinction in your marketing efforts will make ALL the difference when it comes to  results.Then reverse engineer your strategy based on the behavior and distinction of those motivated off market sellers.So if you understand what I am saying here... your question about "templates" is wrong.It is not about where do you find templates for off-market deals... your question should be, where do you find  motivated seller off market deals... because when you know where they are.. you don't need no stinking templates.You just need to explain how the process works and the result...well:If I had a mic, I would drop it right about now.Good luck my handsome feller!

would it affect when we resell it?

I would love to connect. 

If I had to choose, I would always prefer cold calling over texting for this approach.The two best strategies I’ve found are inbound methods: direct mail and Google Ads.Direct mail can be expensive, but it can also yield highly discounted properties.Google Ads, on the other hand, doesn’t require data extraction like calls, direct mail, or texting.

One more question: If I approved the 20 year old with a co-signer and then allowed the 17-year-old to be listed as an occupant, would it make sense to have him sign as a tenant when he turns 18 in 5 months?

Would you be able to give some insights on that?

Would love to see how you all diversify!
