Residential Rental with Cash Flow

What an amazing market to be creative. Fortunately, we can really help those that haven given up and are ready to walk away from their property. I know you have heard it before but, "Dont wait to buy real estate, buy real estate and wait." I just submitted an offer yesterday to purchase a single family home for my business portfolio. The owner wants out and will seller finance the property. After negotiating details on the phone, I am putting $5000 down and the price is $135,000. It is a 5 bedroom that rents at $1000 a month. This will be a long term hold with great cash flow.
My goal is keep this property and use it to 1031 into a larger multi-unit, development project, or another income producing property.

Commercial Deal with Great Terms

We closed on a property last week. The property was a For Sale By Owner Commercial building on State Street with 8000 square feet of commercial space and an additional 3000 square foot garage. We purchased the space for $410,000! Price per square foot is amazing and great ability to lease. Don't stop reading. We put $25000 down and the seller is financing the note for 7.5 yrs at a rate of 6%. Now thats a deal.

Value in Property

When establishing value with property we look at the features and benefits of a given property vs. the current competition. With properties sitting on the market, foreclosed homes increasing, and sellers getting more motivated- there is more and more competition.
My properties are selling simply by providing easy terms, understood incentives, and sticking to a bullet proof marketing plan. "VALUE" does not mean PRICE. Creating phenomenol terms, knowing how to provide funds, and keeping a disciplined schedule may be the difference. Call me, let me show you what I mean.
