A good deal for a retail buyer is something they can pay for which has most of the amenities and location they want.

Sellers can avoid paying transfer taxes to the county, while buyers are spared from facing significant property tax increases.However, it's important to note that lenders typically only approve these loans for properties with five or more units.

Quote from @Shawn Questa: Hi all,I am curious what some of the Pros would do to Help a Seller in this situation while making a Deal happen.I found a 200+ day old MLS Listing where the Agent said the Seller is in Financial Ruin, hasn't Paid the Mortgage in a year, owes about 180k on an approx. 210k House and multiple Buyers have backed out.I don't know how someone could not Pay their Note in a year and not at least be in Pre-foreclosure. 

Be sure to: call & verify employment references, request pay stubs to confirm income & check rental history by contacting the previous landlords.Keep the momentum going!

If you’re In a title state make proof of utility pay off a condition of closing.

The original six month tenant I had extended the lease 9 times and stayed a total of 5 years, paying me about $15k over market rent annually.  

Hey @Alecia Loveless I applaud your efforts and think it will pay off!

And, it's amazing how many closing costs are junk fees that we as investors need to pushback on paying for ourselves and our clients.

We couldn't close and had to have (and pay for) a re-inspection, even though the hurricane did not come anywhere close by.

Ignore the $1,250 per month because that's your cost of housing, if you didn't pay that on the home you'd have paid that in rent so that's a non factor.
