We would never recommend that for our clients.

Hey Sam,Congratulations, hopefully you can work something out.My recommendation would be working with a lender that is comfortable with seller financing and keep your cash to close at a minimum.

At appraisal it was worth $500K and it is in a neighborhood where homes that are on a third the size of the lot are going for $800K.What's the best way to get a loan, about $150K, to rehab his house and get it ready to sell. as mentioned, I recommend getting a loan to rehab the property.

Does anyone have suggested property management companies they've used in Florida that they can recommend I reach out to, to see if we're a good fit for each other?

My wife and I started managing more properties for others as word of mouth recommendations started and we started to use the management and arbitrage cash flow to acquire our own properties and fund the BRRRs we were working on.  

I had a recommendation for this program after a bad experience we had flipping our last three properties.

I recommend continuing to learn pros and cons of each and determine which paths (I pluralize it as you should diversify even across real estate).

Any insights or recommendations would be greatly appreciated!

Buying quality assets that are in a desirable location and in good condition with a modest amount of leverage is IMO the only approach that I feel comfortable recommending.

Has anyone used this device or have another recommendation to monitor water usage?
