Regarding cash vs financing, a cash offer might be more enticing to the investor selling the property since it won't be dependent on an appraisal, but leveraging debt is where the real wealth will be built long term.

The 6.875% 7/1 ARM offers a lower initial interest rate, potentially saving you money on monthly payments for the first seven years, but after that, the interest rate can adjust annually based on market factors.

Hey @Juan Acevedo First off i do not confuse fact with opinion, If you have a good system and are good at your craft you can definatly make money in los angeles flipping and or wholesaling, never be afraid of competition you should embrace that and create a system to be part of that competition thats what makes this all so fun, not everyone can do it, me personally i love the La market as soon as i get a house completed i have multiple offers in the first couple weeks and i can care less about the competition, i focus on my structure that works for me, If you can make it in La you will find many other areas easy, I'm not far from you if you like you can come visit one of my flips and gain a little experience, i have a couple SFR's i purchased in the La area I'm almost complete with the rehab, good luck to you.

We also are establishing an office there for clients to come look over options, get in-house financing, and we also offer help getting matched with an interior decorator to help with the flow and design of the interior. 

I'm also a skilled handyman and was considering offering my services to other investors as a separate business venture.My question is:Is combining buy-and-hold rentals with handyman services for other investors a wise approach, or will it spread myself too thin?

If I make an offer which is contingent upon satisfactory appraisal and inspection, what happens if the appraisal value is lower than what I offered.?

Don’t have but maybe 15-20k cash and need ideas for making an offer closer to asking.

Based on what Nathan Gesners relative is selling their 23 acres for  1 mil an acre we have about 100 to 120 million dollar prop once brought in. we have been approached by the big boys we got an offer last year of 20 mil and turned it down LOL  .. my partners are all younger than me and bought their options in their Roth IRAs  its a pretty cool long term play with some risk of course.. but oh such upside for them..

Since today is the deadline to file 1099s with the IRS for all contract workers, I thought I'd share a simple "best practice" for getting the paperwork done.Print out a short stack of W9 forms to keep in your car or bag, and hand one to EACH vendor upon your first meeting (or at least before you pay them). 

Anyone have any good insurance companies that would offer around that $1200 mark around Texas?
