Prices have gone up so they’re a bit harder to find now but every now and then they pop up.

Let the numbers speak not your emotions.Make sure your offer and LOI spell out favorable terms ofro you to have enough time to do your due dilligence in order to pull back or lower the price should a skeleton pop out of the closet ;-)Send me a DM if you'd like to bounce off a few ideas.

Every time you acquire new property, you should maintain a reserve to cover the inevitable problems that pop up like vacancies, broken furnaces, or a tenant that trashes a unit and decides to leave three days after you close on the latest investment.In this case, I recommend giving them a very small increase, even $25, to avoid the vacancy.

I would recommend doing both, setting aside funds to support things that may pop up and pulling out a vacancy percentage.

My First post on Bigger Pockets :)In the Philadelphia Market I am seeing flips AND fix & rental popping up all over town.

It's a mom-n-pop company that does an amazing job, I'm happy to pay on that schedule.  

Amazing how quickly new tools are popping up.

But for the purpose of my own research, I google online, a website called forsalebyowner.ca pops up.

Unlike a REIT,  the level of sophistication is lower as the investor are more mom-and-pop type.

I used the CE shop which was fine, they also have specials frequently so I would wait until one of those pops up.
