It focuses on the increasing number of real estate investors in Indianapolis and how they're outbidding retail buyers.

This amounts to lost opportunity because if you had purchased RE, at the closing it can start producing return. 5) ADUs detract from the existing structure whether this is privacy, a garage, or just yard space. 6) this is related to number 1, but there are many more buyers looking to purchase homes for their family than there are RE investors looking to purchase small unit count properties.

Buyers could look at a DSCR loan which does take into account the revenue from the rent but it doesn't count towards the value of the property.Now, buyers could look at a business loan of some kind but I am not sure they would qualify if it is only one property and even then, the value is mostly in the property and not the possible revenue. 

If you have any tips, resources, or advice for someone just starting out, I’d greatly appreciate your insights.Some specific things I’m working on right now:* Building a strong buyers list.* Identifying motivated sellers and honing my outreach.* Learning the ins and outs of structuring win-win deals.I’m open to partnering, collaborating, or just grabbing coffee to exchange ideas.

However, I constantly see syndications advertising very attractive return.  

Getting a base 8-15% return instead of 2-3% before actual “profit” puts you way ahead of the cash buyer. 

He didn't even do an assumption here...with an assumption the lender knows the property is being conveyed and the new buyer is assuming the existing mortgage which is a lot less risky for both the buyer and the seller.

The deal itself seems like an incredible opportunity for the right buyer,  penciling at a 9 CAP. 

aim for a good house, not a cheap house as it will attract lower quality tenants and cost you more in the long run.

If you buy it too low, in some jurisdictions they will call it "equity skimming" which is illegal.It can be very profitable, I've done many, but you really need to know what you are doing. on pre foreclosures on the West coast if you happen to do them legally .. the old owner is due 80% of the profit if you sell within 36 months.. so there is that.. but if your buying pre foreclosure for long term hold and wait out the 36 months then your fine. the reality these days is post GFC lenders/ banks/ servicers have realize that working with the buyer to reinstate recast redo the loans is far better than taking it all the way to foreclosure so your correct its usually the worse houses that make it all the way to the end and go to sale.thats why if you follow NODs  Notice of defaults or whatever they are call in your state. you see so many postponements and or removed or paid off etc.. so you hone in on one property do all this work only to have it not go  to sale  rarely are you going to buy a home that you really want LOL
