I made money on my investments, but that was because I bought from a motivated seller and flipped it quickly.Having said that I would advise against buying an already subdivided vacant lot as a long term investment.

My question is: Could you please help me /advise me/ how to structure the whole deal and what should be aware of.What the best way to take the ownership /llc, land trust/.

If you had $500,000 at 8% how would you put it to the best and highest use? Should I put small down payments on several properties and then finance the other portions with another loan at a lower rate? Or, buy propert...

Hi Brian, Welcome to Bigger Pockets the advise and information on this site will really help with those 1st time jitters as well as provide sound guidence when it comes to evaluating deals.

Can I get a little advise here,There is currently a deal in my home town that is apartments.

In this particular one - the research I have done on my own - looks like the property was paid for cash - no mortgage co. showing up or no security deed.Thanks for any and all advise!

If you've been reading here a while, you must have ran across the numerous "do expenses really equal 50% of gross rent" discussions, so I won't rehash here.I would advise you to look at your calculation assuming expenses are 50% of rent and see how much you have to put in.

The tenant, ultimately, is responsible for their guests actions/inactions, so advise them accordingly: they need to shape up, or ship out.

But when it comes to purchase advise you are the perpetual "Don't Buy That" guy.

Please advise anyone knows the exact process & if I would be able to contact the atty or bank to purchase in advances.Thanks so much for your help...Angie
