I look forward to learning from those with the experience I don’t have and learning alongside those going through the same growth I am experiencing.

The woman fell in love with the house as soon as she walked in, but her pre approval fell well short of my listing price.She asked if she can buy the house at the less than asking price and then send me monthly payments until she hits my original listing price.I would love any advice if anyone has experienced anything similar to this situation. 

I'm an experienced real estate investor doing business in IN and MI and looking to expand into Ohio in the Cincinnati area.

A lot depends on you: your expertise, your comfort level, funding, bandwidth, team, and whether you have a network of experienced investors to reach out to for questions.Best!
