I pay myself back with the cash flow and repeat.

We have several different "types" of properties to include traditional single family rentals, one multifamily rental, lease to buy options with tenants who hope to buy from us, two short term rentals, and some agricultural farm land that is cash rent. 

So, with no foundational knowledge of real property, and no capital, his only alternatives are (1) “bluff” the homeowner into thinking he has the money and intent to close the purchase himself and or convince the homeowner he has an extensive list of cash ready interested buyers (“partners”) with whom he’s done dozens of prior deals or (2) pack up shop, write off the money invested in mentoring to a worthless investment, and decide IF real estate is right for home.  

Well I have a deal under contract and I have a cash buyer.

Cash flow needle in the haystack!

I have multi-family (600+ units) experience with start up for submetering water/sewage/trash via Conservice, electricity was always required to be in tenants name (with revert to owner and bill back in the event of a default in payment). 

They also allow improvements (with documented evidence) to the property to be backed off the sales price for basis.If you do not need the money and don't mind the cash flow, consider owner finance and carry it out for years.  

I paid $307k cash and spent another 30k + to fix it.

Will be paid in cash.

It's a bridge that creates opportunities to get creative or to make cash offers on RE.
