Balancing your account and doing taxes should be a breeze if you keep it organized up front.

Make a list and look closely at each one to see if they are an option.If you can't find someone within your network, expand your network.

It will take time to heat up.

( Cleveland ) I’d like to see how others are gaining properties so quickly instead of saving up 20% each time. what are my options to avoid having to save up 20% each time for a down payment 

However, most deals in this area have close to break even cash flow (i.e. $100/month on a 150k property).

It is a pure commission sale “job” where the salesman must (1) pay for his own education (2) pay for his own leads (3) front his own money to put the sale “under contract” and put up his own money to pay all related expenses.

Also, make sure that around month 9, 10 or 11, you get a THOROUGH home inspection done so the builder can repair any/all items that fall under the warranty up to that 1-year mark.

There is an $80,000 assignment fee so we ended up paying a bit more but our only down payment towards the building looks to be 30k.

Thanks in advance for your help.Depends how AGGRESSIVE you want to be - and whether you’re looking for a long term solution or just an immediate one or two time solution.A short term possible once or twice solution would be to write up a 6 month lease with a cancellation option after one month at the pleasure of the tenant.
