Never considered it a market to invest in.

Purchase price: $35,000 Cash invested: $35,000 Sale price: $110,000 A fix-and-flip project purchased off-market from a tired landlord involved buying a distressed property with significant deferred maintenance.

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

Before getting started, I’d recommend focusing on three key areas:Strategy Selection – Understand the different investment strategies (BRRRR, short-term rentals, etc.) and determine which aligns best with your goals.Market Research – Study the market you want to invest in, including property values, rental demand, and economic trends.Laying the Foundation – Take proactive steps now that will set you up for success later.

It has been on the rental market for about 55 days and the average in the area is supposedly 36.

I would not buy on a land contract (maybe a piece of land but not a residence) but have owned them in the past (we bought them on secondary market).Way too much risk as the borrower - see the post I made yesterday in the note investing section where a homeowner gave someone a land contract and still sold the house to someone else.

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.

Help, I have a friend who wants to play the stock market and I don't know how to talk him out of it!

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?

Most times when evaluating a DSCR mortgage, market rent will come into play.
