You would have to front some costs to perform all the DD, but the receive it back.I know a few posters on here mention that lenders wont lend if you dont have skin in the game.

With the new 4 mortgage limit, I'll be consolidating 4 into 1 to give me another 3.My strategy is to buy well and let time take care of the rest.

I've also tried another system which I can't remember the name of it - (Marko's system) and don't care for it.

Take the time to carefully craft your own letter.

Also be careful with Zillow there are many homes in Indiana that are very inflated on their site.

This will be my first investing deal so I want to be careful, but I think I've found a good deal.

Would any of you care to tell about an interesting or creative way that you've made deals, dealt with a problem property, partners, property managers, tenants???

Looks like one that is just dirt with a lining over it.So now the question is how to take care of it (and how much it will cost) because I dont want to put money into fixing it due to the fact that I will get 0 return on it.How would you guys go about filling it in and any idea what the cost would be?

I would be extremely careful about the IE market.

BE CAREFUL!
