.: I'm taking a break from buying and my previous approach of analyzing deals in inexpensive markets, looking at hundreds of properties on Zillow and running the numbers, which I spent hours each on each day and became really burned out.

I’d challenge you to go approach any sponsor and and ask them what percent of the deal they’d take.

This approach ensures realistic pricing and helps avoid unexpected costs later.Good luck!  

We’re considering reaching out to local hospitals to offer it as housing for travel nurses and doctors, but we’d love to hear any advice or suggestions on the best approach this?

If I were to approach a seller of a $200k home, and they had a remaining mortgage of $100k, could I get a new bank financed loan for that $100k, and have the seller finance the remaining $100k of equity to me?

Can try to reposition to Class B, but neighborhood may impede these efforts.Vacancy Est: Historically 10%, but 15-20% should be used to also cover tenant nonpayment, eviction costs & damages.Tenant Pool: majority will have FICO scores of 560-620 (approaching 22% probability of default), many blemishes, but should have no evictions in last 2 years.

I would love to hear how you all approach this process.

There sure are fast track approaches to this but really depends on strategy. 

Both approaches fail because they forget the most important part of the deal: EMOTIONS.
