I would definitely submit a complete offer package with dates, terms, numbers, copy of an earnest money check, proof of funds, or pre approval.

Hi,Another issue you may encounter trying to do this is the restrictions on time frame between selling all of the properties and rolling over the proceeds into another property.

If you want a super, that becomes part of their compensation package.

Both the mechanical and plumbing seem to have less left on the contract than what would be required to finish the work (for instance the HVAC guy has done everything but put in the new package unit outside which is about a 5k job, but only 3.5k is left on the contract) but I, nor the owner who has been very cooperative, have been able to get in touch with the electrician, and there is a good bit of work yet to do.When you say $ held in escrow post closing to cover leins, do you mean $ out of the seller's pocket/sales proceeds, or out of my pocket?

Hello Wise BP community,I have checked the rent comps (Rentrange, city-data, Zillow, etc) in the area and the numbers do not add up as suggested by the realtor.  The realtor says the seller has "potential" renters who...

I like the idea about the appraisal package. 

As an agent, I've encountered quite a few clients that can't get a traditional mortgage.  

Most people seem to avoid the conversation about all the Real Estate risk takers that played the biggest part in the housing crisis.A few years before the bubble burst I was encountering real estate investors, house flippers, and buy-and-hold participants everywhere I went, my waitress at The Cheesecake Factory, the two McDonalds employees talking deals on their lunch break, the clerk at the grocery store, everyone everywhere appeared to be a real estate investor in one form or another getting a piece of the housing boom.The underlining problem I noticed was during the rush to get into the RE industry most of the people capitalizing in the industry never learned the basics of RE investing and were simply doing what their friends, neighbors, coworkers, or online postings told them to do to get a piece of the pie.

@Brian Naumann  that is the proper course of action.. .I funded a lot of deals in Kokomo for instance you can build a very nice cottage investment business there and not put up with the risk you are encountering in Memphis is simply sounds like you got with the wrong company.. 

In the meantime, I'd suggest teaming up with an experienced investor (for a profit-kicker on your next few deals) to simply leverage their experience as part of your team for that deal and to include them in your underwriting package (your lender pitch).
