Hi Jessica, I would suggest getting a propstream or any other lead generation account, finding cash buyers who bought similiar properties to yours in the last 3-6 months in the area of the properties you are looking to sell, skip trace then cold call or cold texting the list. 

Quote from @Samuel Hudson: Hello friends I am new the market and recently bought a home in Weehawken 6 months backs .Its a three family home and we are currently doing renovations Right now.The rent leveling board told me that two units would have to follow a rent of 1650 for unit 1 which has three bedrooms and another unknown amount for unit 2 which they don’t have the information for .The previous seller I purchased the property from bought it as a tax lien .He has kept the property vacant for two years with no tenants before selling it to me .However ,the previous Owner he bought it from must have had tenants .I am putting in a lot of money into renovations and want some clarity on the situation I am in .The property has been vacant for the two years and currently still is as we are doing renovation .It would be really appreciated if anyone can assist me on what information needs to be provided by from the previous seller for me to be able to set the rent based on the market value .Thank you . 

Most people selling properties are not professional investors.

Could be different if you are working with a bank that do not sell the loans they make 

There are a bunch of reasons people sell a property.

So your capital gain when you sell this property will be calculate against your tax basis and not against your mortgage as many investors expect.

I am eyeing up a property I want to buy that costs much more than usual so my plan was to use a hard money loan to purchase, and rehab it with my own money, then sell. 

A lead magnet is a powerful way to capture their attention.Examples of Lead Magnets:“Free Guide: 5 Ways to Sell Your Home Fast Without a Realtor.”

Selling the rentals via installment sales could also spread out tax liability.This post does not create a CPA-Client relationship.
