You’ll have more breathing room and less need to pile on risky leverage.My gut: This deal looks like “buying yourself a headache.”

Hi, we are new to creative financing and looking to ways to purchase a multi family property from a FSBO however we are not sure where to begin on what to offer the seller to make the deal attractive to them.

A cash-flow-positive property gives you breathing room and sets the stage for scaling.Also, don’t underestimate the power of building your network early: agents, lenders, contractors, property managers.

You have to attract interested parties that are willing to sell you their property cheaply because they need to vacate ownership for one reason or another.

Exit timelines aren’t always in your control, so build in extra breathing room on every project.

On the other hand, doing a lower-rate refi or pulling less cash keeps payments more manageable ($5,361–$6,000) while still freeing up some capital, less stress, and more breathing room.A smart middle-ground is doing a HELOC now and refi later.

If you’re looking at countries you mentioned, the UAE (especially Dubai and Abu Dhabi) is the most attractive overall right now.Why?

Class A properties are the easiest to manage as they attract the best tenants.

Perception & PricingHomes priced slightly below market sometimes get less attention because buyers assume something’s wrong.Pricing at or just above market can actually attract more serious buyers—especially if photos and staging scream “desirable neighborhood home.”4.

That often meant repairing flooring in addition to replacing the tub.So, if a walk-in tub makes your property more attractive to your target market, keep it.
