A clean, neutral-looking curb gives prospective homebuyers a chance to visualize their own additions/upgrades.

I understand this is not a requirement, but I have never received a damaged unit from an inherited tenant or any legal issues.

I have about $100k in capital reserves and can leverage the 2 properties for additional capital, as needed.

In addition, while the umbrella did not end up having to pay out, having it meant I did not stress about it at all.  

Continue with a viewing, additional questions, get applications, run ALL checks, and then make a decision.By being very clear about requirements, you will catch most early in the process and can let them know.

Paid platforms often offer additional features like market analytics, off-market property leads, and filters for investor-specific criteria, giving them a leg up over free options.Exactly, most platforms have to offset cost somewhere because of how expensive it is to keep the data up to date.

Then they receive the money and you still keep your money and earn money on it.

For those of you who have received a BLOC, does your bank report to Dun & Bradstreet?

If I were to do a traditional VA loan, the loan would be close to 7%.Below are what I understand to be the numbers so far:Seller purchased the property in DEC 2022 for $1.13M (owned for 2yrs)Current estimates are Zillow= $1.26M/  Redfin=$1.323MOur agreed purchase price is $1.25MSeller financing would be $120k @ 8% for 3yrs.No commission cost.Small percentage of fees/ costs in the tune of 1.5% of loan amount.Let me know what you think and if you need any additional info.

Look at the PM contract and verify the 8% is all inclusive and that there are not additional charges for placing a tenant, resigning a tenant, inspections, and dealing with vendors/contractors.
