There are some attractive financing solutions available to investors with options available up to 85% loan to value. 

Did you find a solution yet?

Looking for a cost effective solution that looks nice and that would help sale or rental efforts. 

My friends that are doing this aren't what I could consider investors in the sense they're not monitoring the market - they have a good tenant that doesn't bother them so keep the rent the same for years until something bad happens like the bathtub overflows. 

If you didn't have an actual solution to give of how to contact out of state owners living in NYC without my having to take a trip, why comment at all?

@Yosef LeeWow love how versatile you're in negotiating and finding solutions to these issues.Keep up the great work!

If there is no solution other than "you take the risk", it seems this would be a death-toll to selling houses at auctions absent a huge bucket of cash to cover losses if they happen.  

Explore other financing options or creative solutions?

This MIGHT put us back in budget - but I'm not convinced it doesn't also carry significant risk at this point.As a side note, because of how much cash any of these solutions appears like it will take us, we're wondering if there are personal lenders or hard money lenders that do these deals. 

Technology Concerns: I’ve heard mixed reviews about the technology solution offered and “pre-vetted” deals, with some saying it’s unreliable, expensive with hidden fees (e.g. finder’s fee on pre-vetted deal).
