I’m Not Fast Enough
Hey everybody,
In my area there seem to be condos that will pop up which could possibly make good cash flowing rentals. They tend to run anywhere from $100-150K per condo. My problem is, they tend to get swept up before I have the time to blink. Any advice? I’d like to make the jump on my first rental property but have no idea how to get in the game.

Having an investor knowledgeable agent will be able to set you up on an alert that can tell you when a property hits the market. Then put an offer at asking to tie it up for a feasibility period. Then you can run your numbers, check insurance, cap ex, special assessments, and get inspections. Make sure you have proof of funds or a pre-approval letter ready to submit with the offer.
