I have been digging into off market deals and it has been promising.

You have to know the market before you build a plan and I don't think this market supports your intended plan.

I have some properties in Abilene and have really enjoyed the market there.

What strategies have worked best for marketing midterm rentals in secondary or smaller markets like Portsmouth?

My goal is to make this property available to insurance companies, disaster recovery specialists, and individuals displaced by fire, flood, or other catastrophic events.I am seeking guidance on the most effective approach to market this property, specifically:Recommended Insurance and Disaster Recovery ContactsAre there specialized companies that manage temporary housing for insurance claims?

I’m looking for insights on how to put together a deal with the following details:Asking Price: $260KMarket Value: ~ $265KProperty Details: 3 bed / 2 bath / 1,400 sq. ft.Days on Market: ~100Loan Type: VA Loan (Attempting a VA Loan Assumption)Mortgage Balance: $200KThe ChallengeThe seller is behind on mortgage payments, and while I don’t have an exact amount, the agent mentioned it’s over $20K.

Plenty of 50-60% leverage loan options for developable land, and may still be more marketable to the LP if you went that route even if it meant incurring some additional finance charges.

VA loans are the only loans that allow this, and there is no rate penalty for it no longer being your primary home.With that in mind, you could do a cash out refinance today at a higher rate than current market rates which will create profit on the loan, we can take that profit to pay for your closing costs.

I think you have the basics of meeting partners and people to work with in your local market and seem to be well on the way with two deals going already so big congrats there!

I'm happy to share my experience with this market if you'd like to message me to set-up a call.
