The tennant's mother is on the lease with her since financially she fell short of my requirements.

If you structure the financing as EQUITY PARTICIPATION it is better, but they will still fell like they are a partner in your deal.The only solution...The best and most affordable financing is buying with creative seller financing.

I fell into this property as a result of a relationship I established with a local investor.

In 08, when prices fell, deals were much easier to come by.  

The agent did not actively find you - it fell in his lap.

For $25k I would hope that you are getting a lot more than just a credit line but there have been people who fell victim to scams that promised just that.

But sometimes people are stubborn and fell insulted, if thats the case, give the seller your card and tell them if they change there mind to call you.. then just walk away... there are plenty of other fish in the sea

found a deal today after an investor fell ill.If the termite inspection goes well I will be grabbing another investment property and closing on my own home Tuesday.Which will be my temporary living and flipped into an investment after 12 months.

@Scott Goulet yes we do have to be reaI,I  got a little frustrated after they denied me but now a better deal just fell in my lap, we have to keep it moving. trying to acquire as much cash flowing properties as possible. 

So far, I've put 4 deals under contract and ALL have fell apart.
