Hello Everyone,I am getting my financing together and I think I am just about ready to buy my first investment property.

Have this information ready and contact the tenant.

Yes we sold a ready to rent property for $25K.

With a team, you will have ready access to everyone's experience if you ask and keep your eyes and ears open.

I have a specific purchase price with the owner and am about to complete the rehab on the house and will be ready to list it on the market soon.I've been talking through various options on how to structure the listing agreement with my realtor because I am not on the deed, but have a lease option agreement.

But a cheaper expensive doo dad that meets your needs will consume less of your money than a more expensive one, leaving you more cash to invest into your and your family's future.

So here I am ready to jump right on in with yall!

I now believe I am ready to start my journey and actually start investing!

I found a house off searching tax liens, and the seller is an elderly person who has a relative helping to get the house sold before the lien redemption ends(this month)They refuse to do a contract, i even offered to make it just a week long, at least enough time to market the house, throw it on Craigslist whatever, as i know they have limited time.I think they are trying to work other angles, which i can appreciate, and they seem eager to sell( i got them down to $10k + i would have to pay the 4500 lien) Recent solds show about 32-45k comps, and my agent says the area(moreland ave) is a lot of investor activity.Today they told me "we'll do a contract once you have the funds ready, but we don't want to do all the contract paperwork, we just want cash upfront".I explained i work with investors and I can't market the place without having a contract, and i wouldn't want to knowing they can sell it from under me.Should i basically forget about it and move on?

I think you should have an end buyer ready to buy and make sure the agent get their commission and submit the offer through the agent.
