Beware, cash flow is addictive!

If he's an addict, then you can probably get him to go for less.  

Closing on investment properties can become addicting.

I seriously loved my 2nd wife, but after dealing with her drug and alcohol addiction for 18 years I had no choice other that to stop being her co-dependent and I knew the only choice was to cut her loose.So, I paid my divorce attorney about $9,000 total and she borrowed %60,000 from a step-sister to pay her attorney.

Sometimes this is a way of hiding group homes for otherwise undesirable tenants (sex offenders, recovering addicts, etc).

(Watch me have a hundred by 2020, they’re addictive)If I was you I’d buy a basic house needing some work that I was capable of doing and negotiate a purchase for <$10k and push for seller financing so there was no loan application and no limit to the number you can get. 

I come here for my social media addiction, less drunkenness.
