Moty Wall If you had not closed on the purchase property already you could have performed a reverse exchange... buy now with an intermediary involved, sell the other afterwards.

I am thinking it's better to put the money in up front and lower the risk of the property sitting on the market.

That is a good question and anyone who is involved in real estate investing should know about the meaning of an "as is" clause.

Very little risk to the seller with that large of a down payment.

If you buy right you can easily cash flow on those properties as well.If your goal is cash flow while minimizing risk.  

Installation will involve a stretch of gas pipe, limited water plumbing to tap into the existing pipes, and some electric work.  

One house was listed at $179k, the price dropped and after I produced a $30k issue I was able to get it for $110k.One house they had a current appraisal (I didn't agree with it) at $160k and I offered $91,500.The only other low offer was one they listed at $115k, I offered in the $40ks and have since bumped up to $60k but they sold it elsewhere (sounds like it went for around $70k).You run a risk of looking like what you fear, but what could it possibly hurt to try?

As a trustee state, lending involves a deed of trust (D-T) rather than a mortgage.

You have got to get the right team, including excellent property management.Doing BRRR is a whole lot more involved, and you have to be ready to assume a whole lot more risk than turnkey.  

I'm looking for a passive, low-risk incomeEXPERIENCE: Very Little.
