I know when you make an offer you typically specify how you plan on funding the deal.

Also we felt we were going to make more self managing than with the payments they were offering.

I looked at Sapphire pretty hard last year, and made a couple of offers there, but in the end decided it wasn't the market for me.

I never put my time into finding buyers unless I had something to offer.

A few others have called out Hemlane, who appear also quite responsive here on BP and also offer a degree of repair/work order management baked right into their middle/upper tier offerings (versus having to bolt-on as with RentRedi + Latchel). 

After talking to another family member they said they would be willing to go in on the duplex and offered to pay the $40,000 down payment and help with any repairs but they want to be "partners" or "own" a percentage of the duplex.

I'm planning to put in my first offer on my first rental on a SFH in Kansas City in the next day or two.$140k offer8% interest rate20% down8% management fee5% vacancy5% maintenance 5% cap exI haven't gotten insurance costs yet but it's been suggested that I plan for $2k per year. 

The Midwest, including cities like Detroit, offers some of the best opportunities for affordable properties with strong rent-to-price ratios.

Look for your states offer to purchase contract online or contact a realtor to get a blank copy. review the agreement to be sure assignment is not expressly excluded. if there is nothing excluding assignment from the contract then writing the words "/And or Assigns" after the name or company's name on the buyer's line should be sufficient.Good luck!

It all started when my wife's college friend offered me an opportunity to invest in a commercial property.
