Many sellers will say something like "well, we show $200,000 on the books, but there's another $200,000 under the table".Any sales that don't get recorded simply don't exist for your purposes. 

Unless you have an appetite for risk and want a second job, or bring real estate expertise to the table along with a work ethic and don’t mind running a real estate investing business that will enable you to beat the stock market, in which case you should buy into a bunch of syndications and rentals.

I'm on the fence here regarding some options that I have so I'd like to lay my position on the table and get some feedback from the general community in the hopes that it can help guide my decision moving forward. 

The seller left money on the table?

I would  bring to the table: the deal, the market/real estate knowledge, the real estate attorney, the mortgage broker/bank.

Anyone have a recommendation for a cleaner in the lake arrow bear Running springs Area of the San Bernadino mountains ?

Hi all - I'm in the Smoky Mountains now and headed to Nashville Sunday (17 Feb) and would love to connect with any Nashville investors or agents to discuss real estate options in Nashville, either for purchasing and/or for purposes of rental arbitrate.

I own four vacation rentals; one in California, three in the Smoky Mountains of Tennessee.  

As I keep saying, even today I live in a commercial with my wife, two children and we have zero furniture with the exception of office desks, mattress sets and a few tables.

Some people have had very good luck in the Smoky Mountains.
