Also perhaps the homes built in the last 10 years have sprinkler systems and even drip systems near the foundation to keep the soil moist.Look for signs when you are viewing homes....especially in the hot areas.When we evaluate homes, especially with buyers we're looking at the BIG 5 as best we can. 

Unless you can knock all of those items out in the next week, price competitively in the market and are in a hot area. 

* What are some factors to consider when identifying these hot spots?

Subject-to.

–Exception: An ADU on a 1-unit subject property that does not comply with the zoning and land-use requirements (illegal zoning) may be eligible under certain conditions. • ADUs that are manufactured homes are allowed under certain conditions.Good luck

It costs the same thing to fix a hot water heater or remodel a bathroom on a $200K house as a $100K house.   

:@David Krulac  since we last talked about due diligence on foreclosed properties, I have been reading up on how to minimize risk and have few questions that I hope you can help me out in this example.The subject property is owned by the bank in Delaware county,PA .

To avoid Prohibited Transactions, SDIRA investments really need to be passive.Oh, I'll also mention that SDIRAs are subject to UBIT tax.  

Hi Kwanza,I guess it's subjective and depends what you compare it to, but Maryland and Baltimore City in particular are very tenant friendly.Baltimore has a wide variety of multifamily options, but you need to have a really clear understanding of Baltimore and how much it can change block-by-block.

Seller financing or subject-to financing (taking over the seller’s existing mortgage) can be great options if you find a motivated seller.
