To even find one deal you need to do marketing and build a buyers list, but what are you buying with?

None were accepted yet, so learned a ton and happy to walk away from a few deals that weren't going to give me the return I wanted, or had big issues (e.g. septic - I decided to stay away from septic if at all possible)*Taking the time to encourage a friend who knows nothing at all about REI to take his first steps.

A good deal of corruption and other issues that come with being a border town.

House was distressed How did you find this deal and how did you negotiate it?

Our goal is to highlight some of the newest, most creative ways to get deals done! 

Nope..... people will argue day n night how "Duh, the Government pays for that dummy, not us.....". 

For my first deal, I guess am just afraid to invest outside my area.

., $75 to unclog a drain, $50 to replace a lockbox)I like the per-task pricing as long as your maintenance calls aren't super frequent.I'm also a hard money lender if you're looking at a new deal to get quotes on soon or if you're looking to refinance a property soon!

You have to know how to find and sign properties ahead of getting access to those buyers.You do want to do both at the same time so that when you have your first deal, you know someone, but don't expect anyone to pay attention to you if you don't have 4-5 deals at all times.

Honestly this deal could look really bad to someone and at the same time look really good to someone els at the same time.
