Looking for any investors located in northern Japan area! Would love to get some meet ups and get to know other people around here and learn from each other
Ned Carey I understand, I think I didn't really explain it too well. I don't want the agent to do the legwork I just want him/her to be open to the creative financing. I feel like whenever I mention that they just run away because I don't have much experience with it
Jefferson Gan Thanks for that advice I'll definitely let the agent know to be on the lookout for seller financing and I'll look more into it!
Jefferson Gan I looked into FHA and 203K loans as well but were gonna be here for another two years! So I'll definitely check out seller financing and subject. I was told that I'll still need around 10% down for seller financing, is that true?
Chris Mason I would totally use the VA loan! However because my wife is here with me neither of us will be able to live in the property so we can't use the VA loan :(
Help! I am currently brand new to real estate investing and I have been in the Air Force for just over a year now and I'm in Japan. I want to buy my first rental property in New Jersey where I grew up. However every time I talk to an agent and tell them I don't have much to put down they give up and don't get creative like how I am trying and just stop talking to me. Anyone have any tips on how I can get agents on board for trying creative investing instead of traditional 20% down? Any ideas for creative investing? Any help is so appreciated. Thank you!!

Hey guys so I've been reading and getting into real estate for about a month now. I really want to get started and get my first deal, however I have a few obstacles. I live in another country, Japan, and I don't really have any start capital. I want to get my first deal under my belt, however those two obstacles make it really difficult to do that for a new guy like myself. Really could use some advice and it's really appreciated. Looking forward to seeing what you all have to say :)
I was wondering how to analyze a fix and hold if I'm using hard money? I was just using a standard 30 year conventional mortgage to analyze the expenses but would like to find a way to analyze it with hard money. Thanks!

Hello all! I have been working on a few possible deals and I wanted to know how to go about reaching possible partnerships for the deals? I am with an agent as well so I'm ready to start now. Thanks for any advice!

Mark Walker thank you! How do you plan for property taxes? Just add a 5% increase? Because after I run the number I usually only have 150 for cash flow which in my opinion is not worth it and won't account for raised property taxes
