I know the markets and interest rates change and so I am wondering if the strategies discussed can still all be used nowadays.

If your tenant does not agree with the terms to continue on at the property he can leave.  

This is likely something you can do on your own in 30 minutes. 

Some investors might also offer a flat fee, anywhere from $1,000 to $5,000, if it’s a smaller deal or if the realtor’s involvement was minimal beyond bringing the opportunity to you.You can negotiate based on how much work the realtor did (e.g., facilitating the deal, negotiations, etc.).

These resources can help you connect with like-minded individuals and gain valuable insights for your multifamily investments.Good luck!

tty LO, the deal can take forever and possibly fall apart.I live in South Jersey, outside of Philly. 

I was hoping to structure a deal that involves paying the seller every month and then a balloon payment in 5 years (when I can get an 80% LTV cash out refinance to put a mortgage on the property without having to put any money down because I'll have built up at least 20%).

I'll send you a PM so we can connect locally. 

.), Designing and Furnishing (amenities, design, theme, linens, etc), and operating (Insurance, Property management or self-management, Tech & Tools, Cleaners & handy people, etc)All of these could be covered depending on who you work with that can cover each topic. 

I am extremely interested in learning everything that I can about real estate.
