Many Realtors will suggest purchasing a property using a FHA Loan, to reduce your out of pocket money.

Purchase price: $250,000 Cash invested: $75,000 7 bedroom Padsplit property at 93% occupancy What made you interested in investing in this type of deal?

A multi-unit property was purchased for $140k. 

If there isn’t significant equity capture at this purchase price, and it’s not in a great location, this would be a pass for me.

But one thing is for certain - if it's off-market, you have a much greater probability of getting to the the desired purchase % you are after.

The family purchased a lakefront property in a nice area three years ago but then ran into a series of issues, and have abandoned the place because of them.They are hoping the bank allows a short sale (asking for roughly $20,000 under what is owed)Here's what's made them so unhappy:Anytime they used the laundry it was dumping into a dry well, which would back up into the house forcing them to take their laundry to a laundromat instead!!

Why do you think purchase contracts are so long and have such small print?

@Kyle LipkoRecommend you first figure out the property Class you want to invest in, THEN figure out the corresponding location to invest in.Property Class will typically dictate the Class of tenant you get, which greatly IMPACTS rental income stability and property maintenance/damage by tenants.If you apply Class A assumptions to a Class B or C purchase, your expectations won’t be met and it may be a financial disaster.If you buy/renovate a property in Class D area to Class A standards, what quality of tenant will you get?
