Hi everyone, I just migrated here in the US for around 6 months now, and I'm really fascinated with real estate investing and its potential to change lives.

I'm trying to figure out a strategy on buying real estate from the seller on payments, adding value and reselling it for profit and thus, paying off the original seller.

As a real estate investor and advisor with an eye for opportunity, few transactions in history rival the scale and foresight of the Louisiana Purchase.

If you don't thoroughly understand the agreement you signed with the tenant, take it to real estate attorney so you can get advice based on the facts of your lease agreement.

Sale-Leasebacks have inherent challenges because the tenant/seller is incentivized to market the property in such a way they get they price they want, but if the entity who signs the lease is weak and there's no personal guarantor, they could stop paying rent the day after you close leaving you high and dry with very little legal remedy.I don't know your market, but in my eyes, any 10% cap offering is either an extremely weak tenant OR a tenant that has very little term remaining with no plans to renew.If I were, you I would very seriously consider how much I like the real estate and what my odds would be of refilling the real estate with the same or better rent and/or a better credit tenant once this tenant goes belly up.

I don't really want a massive real estate company.

I do believe real estate is one of the safest investments when managed with care. 

(By using ~$140k, you're indirectly referencing 25% of the 2021 conforming conventional loan limit, so I'm guessing you read $137,062 on a VA COE issued during calendar year 2021 that you came across for some reason and "about $140k" is what your brain stored)But for folks with no outstanding entitlement, that limit was tossed out the window right before COVID, one of my main wholesale lenders is doing $4,000,000 VA loans on up to fourplexes with 0% down as of yesterday (how smooth was that California military veterans relevant plug, and that keyword/SEO drop right there?

My name is John Traggardh I’m from the Rockford area, iv been passionate about real estate investing for the last year and a half. 

As far as a correction, that's happening now - unfortunately most of current price reductions are because agents either don't know the real starting price point, or what's more likely... the real estate agent is in a personal cash crunch and will just list at whatever the seller wants to list at...Hope that helps
