If not, then drop the price based on your weekly activity level.

Quote from @Ryan Muska: Having all the plans and documents available makes the process go way faster.

It breaks the property into parts like pads, utility hookups, lighting, and landscaping, which can be depreciated faster.

No heavy rehabs.Use private money or short-term capital to acquire them.Structure that private money to be paid off within about 5 years - smaller loan, faster payback.Then sell the property on terms using seller financing with a 30-year note to a family who wants to own, not rent.The buyer makes fixed monthly payments for 30 years.After the private money is paid off in year five, the income continues for another 25 years - steady, predictable, and debt-free.In simple terms:You’re financing like a car loan but selling like a mortgage.The result is a portfolio of free-and-clear homes that still send monthly payments for decades, without renters, maintenance calls, or refinance risk.Why it works:Shorter debt horizon = faster path to financial freedom.Selling as-is means no rehab costs or turnovers.Owner-occupants take care of the property.Payments are consistent and long-term.It’s not about leverage.

I’ve seen some investors get creative lately — curious to hear what others are doing to close deals faster.
