Meaning you want to place yourself in a position so you can't lose.

The only person who cares about your position is you!

When my first purchase is successful (have to stay positive right) my next goal will be to figure out the best way to manage my money to eventually have 5 rental properties.I just wanted to say hi and introduce myself, I look forward to learning more about real estate and more about everyone here in the coming months.

Overall I had a very positive experience working with them.

Even with a large down-payment to maintain a positive cash-flow, your rates of return would be very low.

If I can get pass this obstacle, I'm positive to have some deals under contract in no time.

You know, I really couldn't put myself in the position of the sellers, but what I can tell you is that in both my offers, I was within $5,000 of their asking price.

If you have looked at a few every month over the next year (even though it can be frustrating if you aren't in a position to buy just yet) you will be in a much better position to make a solid offer when you are ready.

So #1 importance in this whole thing is being 100% absolutely positive in the final ARV amount, confirmed by at least 2 different real estate agents and supported by at least 3 comparable SALES, sold within 3 months and within half a mile.

The primary issue is even though there is positive cash flow on the 10 properties the existing debt on the portfolio is approximately 8 % OVER FMV I'm interested in hearing the opinions of the community about this type of subject to scenario which I'm sure comes up frequently otherwise the seller probably wouldn't be willing to do a subject to.
