@Helena Goyvaerts it will be tough without 2+ years of USA tax returns showing you are profitable.Higher interest rates have negatively affected most lenders and many of them are getting more aggressive with offering more flexible programs. 

Fannie Mae offers much more flexibility regarding the types of renovations you can and cannot do.3.

Hell, if all it takes is offering out some software, i think i gotta call IT in India and get ball rolling, people paying me for chance to send me deals, LMAO, that is a new Pet Rock for sure. 

You pay for what it is... not for what it should be or could be.Later PalRogI did throw out a general offer just to try.

I have gotten a seller's credit for my 3 existing units but to be conservative, I will assume I am paying full closing costs here.At the moment, I have ~$25k in a HYSA and expect to save another $10k from my W-2 before I start putting offers in.

And probably not a lot of competition.

Purchasing a “distressed” property and “repositioning” it requires significant capital for improvements, build outs, holding costs, maintenance.In looking for that “needle in a haystack” slam dunk great deal you’re competing with very knowledgable, greatly experienced investors with the cash to make no contingency offers and close in a few days.  

If you have offers out on properties, make sure you understand the rent control levels they are under before you buy.

Your maximum allowable offer. 

But you're going to have to offer something in return.
