Most sellers are going to want 20-25% down as it’s going to cost them 10% to sell.

You’ll find plenty of friendly, knowledgeable people willing to respond to your posts.

I'm trying to find someone to write a $1M policy for me.

Memphis can change quickly and can definitely be more street to street in a lot of cases and not necessarily zip code to zip code or even neighborhood. 

There's no real hard and fast way or only 1 way or doing your first 2 points. your subject line suggests you're not looking to go to a large shop like a JLL or a CBRE which honestly I don't blame you those offices are usually pretty bloated.As far as monthly costs, if you are going to individually get a costar or other such license you are probably looking at $500-$1000 a month pretty easy in overhead once you have office dues, mls dues, marketing, etc. 

Some thoughts that go through my head......Who do you contact to get current values, after renovation values to see if this process is even worth it? 

I haven’t seen many value-add products, but there are solid options on the DSCR side.

And will you be utilizing property management firms to help out? 

Sometimes the question isn't "is my property going to continue to be a good investment?". 

Hi - if I am thinking about offering buyer with seller financing, what are my options for mortgage servicing?
