It also requires gaining a level of sophistication and knowledge that not everyone has the time, inclination or ability to do.

Moving to NYC soon and I'd love to house hack a duplex, but considering cost and my newbie experience level, I'm more inclined to invest outside of the city.

A lot of the good contractors are very busy right now and are not too inclined to bid on a project/give an estimate on something you "might" buy..............just an FYI

., going down to the courthouse and looking at divorce or eviction dockets).So I'd recommend you do some research and come up with a list of potential marketing options, and then decide which appeal to you based on your available time, money and inclinations.

in exchange for: the first dibs at buying if inclined or circulating a deal to their buyer/investor base before you even have to market it, or a listing appointment with those that fall out, especially because the seller needs more than your MAO allows and, you won't see this often because investors feel they have to play the field but, marry them!

I'm not locked in to using the VA loan, more inclined to traditional loan for now, and I could attempt to pay cash depending on the price.

I suppose i feel always an inclination to find venues where i can source private partners that i may not know. 

Since it's a massive 2 story 3100sqft house and the cracked foundation runs down the length of the house I'm way less inclined. 

They will pay you additional premium because you have packaged the deal for them, something they literally don't have the time or inclination to do.E. 

I've done the part of being "the bank" for over 4 years now, so I'm not too inclined to do it again on the real estate end as some others have suggested on this post.
