I think it is going to be custom to your business and its something that those who have experience with will do better at.

I post my rental listings on FurnishedFinder and Facebook (there's a couple DU living fb groups) and have had a good experience with hardly any vacancies. 

Given you and your investor both have experience in different areas, I’d say keep a flexible approach and compare city requirements before putting too much money down.

It depends on the experience they've had.

In the meantime I would love to have some helpful information or ideas to share with the buyers when we meet and ideally an agreement/contract we could fill out together once new terms are agreed to and then share that with the attorney so he could draft up the formal instrument for recording.If you have experience with this type of scenario, I’d love to hear any recommendations you have or any helpful resources you could point me to for the appropriate paperwork.Under foreclosure laws, you have to send appropriate notices and try to work with the borrower and offer a loan mod before foreclosure anyway. 

In my experience, you can absolutely use hard money in bank owned reo auctions...you still don't generally get access and thus need a lender who does need an appraisal in this scenario. 

A renter for a stand alone rowhome is usually a different profile from a large apartment complex renter in my experience.

No experience in Brooklyn but there are a lot of programs out there for rental assistance.

You will learn the most from first-hand experience.

have you had this experience?
