Could be a great way to find out what some of the local cash buyers specific criteria are!

@Daniel RheeList Source is good for narrowing down a list of specific properties with criteria such as age of owner, % of equity, mortgage date, etc... but what List Source won't provide is a description of the property.

With low financials for a first deal; your pitch, passion, and niche will be more important than trying to meet straight numbers.

To get started, I would suggest asking an agent to send you emails with your specific criteria in the areas you want to look at.

I understand that this is state specific and i would DEFINITELY get legal advice before actually doing it but i was just curious if giving discounts to certain organization members is kosher with fair housing laws?

Specific to the underlined portion below  "However, tenants who would otherwise have protected status may be evicted if the unit is the only rental unit owned by the landlord in the building"- how would this impact a duplex where the new owner moves into one unit and a protected tenant is in the other unit?

Specifically, I am looking at a dilapidated 4-unit single story "apartment" building that I want to add a second story to and convert to 4 townhouses or condos.

My background is in business management (specifically in the construction and service & repair industry) and IT.

But, it's no secret and our contracts specifically address the assessments being paid off by the seller.

If you have valuable experience with buy and hold properties, flips, wholesale, or anything in commercial real estate as well, please let me know.More specifically, I'm looking for a partner/mentor with the experience and the funds to help me with building my real estate business.
