new to short sales i have all the training but im just going to just dive in instead of procrastinating like i've done in the past.but i'm looking to network ask a boat load of questions and close deals.loving biggerpockets.com

I don't know ANY investors who use much, if any, of their own cash...they all (those whom I know and respect) use OPM...and if you happen to want, as an investor, to lay out all of your capital, to aquire and asset, well then, more power to you..you must have "Bigger Pockets" deep enough to do so.

I buy at deep discounts so there is equity in it when i purchase it, but need 100% of purchase & rehab costs.

Ok, so I have a deep interest in helping people understand how to be successful in real estate.

, thats a tough question i ask myself every day. i am a 31 yr old husband and father of two who gets up and goes to a job every day to make other people wealthy. i am truly deep in the trenches of the "rat race" and it's killing me to see it every day. it also kills me to se everyone around me every day that is exactly where i am and they dont even know it, they're too busy worrying about vacation, 401k, house payments and all the toys they can get loans for. well i'm reading all i can get my hands on and cruising this as well as other forums all the time. i am determined to someday work for myself even if it's just enough to support my family. one thing that is lucky for me is that we are accustomed to living below our means, meaning we can get by on very little compared to others.i have absolutely !

One of my mentors taught me (and several others) that if we didn't feel embarrassed with our offer price, then we didn't ask for a deep enough discount.

So here is my dillema...I am in to these properties pretty deep due to the condition Obviously marketing to Investors/Business owners that own Sober Housing units and stuff of that nature really limits my buyer base.

Kind of gives you insight as to how deep the problem really is

I only dig deep like that if I think it's going to be a GREAT deal.

Most of our Borrowers luckly have some cash stashed to buy these at such a deep discount.
