1 Bed 1 ba condos can be difficult at times, making the design as unique as possible such as adding accent walls or expensive finishes throughout the home that matches your towns aesthetic/niche are valuable additions to smaller homes where you can't usually add a pool table or other amenities you would find normally in a house. 

It would be more convenient to get the one guy, for sure, but it would be a pretty difficult sell.  

Will definitely make finding a deal more difficult but I get why you would do it that way

The Seller being difficult had caused this deal to fall through 3 times before I had my offer accepted.

You can do it all cash, but if you are looking for financing, that will be difficult without GUC experience. 

Folks stop making it more difficult than it needs to be, buy right, Reno right, rent right, exactly how you would with any tenant. 

The increased pressure on the housing market may mean landlords see a greater number of applicants with difficult rental histories.However, all is not lost.

Managing rehabs, rentals and really any RE project form afar is difficult. 

This makes investing directly in RE difficult, clearly not impossible but harder to get things rolling.

starting by just brokering loans is a good way to start in states that do not require a license.. raising capital from private investors to make loans is a long process And very difficult if you do not have a long track record or pedigree in the industry.. if someone is brand new they really need to go work for a lender first.. other wise IMHO the chance of success is very small.
