What causes the most frequent breakdowns?”

I wonder why MLS is frequently touted as a good place for beginners to find deals, then.

Good afternoon BP-I am frequently in contact with a few agents and wholesalers in my area in an attempt to be one of the first investors that come to mind when a deal comes across their desk.

What we paid for a property is completely irrelevant after the closing day....what matters is the current equity and the forecasted future returns relative to alternatives.Many investors use forecasted IRR and they frequently subject their EXISTING properties to their ACQUISITION criteria. 

I've disturbed the soil frequently.

I took over an existing tenant who frequently asks for repairs, or has complaints about the property.

Hi Chris, I get that the most frequent and biggest delays to closing are typically from the originator, whether it is from an institutional lender or mortgage broker.

Yet, I would like to get insights from experienced investors.Questions for the discussion:How frequent do you interact with PM for your apartment building?

Most people buying investment properties frequently establish long term relationships with a lender to save them from having to resubmit the exact same paperwork over and over again, and to keep things smooth, etc.If you're trying to close while physically overseas, I'd also start looking into settlement service providers, sometimes called a "title company" and sometimes called a "settlement lawyer" depending on the state the real estate is in.

-I prefer newer homes / town homes because I frequently travel internationally and thus don't want to deal with frequent repairs.
