Put yourself out there saying that you are a new investor wanting to meet others so collectively you can move to the next level.

Get management in place and sit back and collect your checks.

You should have answered many of these questions you are asking before you start collecting leads.

You don't want the old owner collecting the rents.

But I just want to collect checks.

To name a few:Seller can get a higher price for their property.May not need the cash and can collect a higher return then if the cash sat in the bank. (6-8%)Faster closingTax benefits.

The seller won't provide bank statements or tax returns and I am unsure to whether rent was actually collected since it was an inherited property.My offer was accepted with no earnest money so should I cancel the contract before wasting money on an inspection?

I'm wondering what the collective wisdom on bigger pockets is regarding this idea?
