Has anyone here been successful in permitting a conversion?

Hey Rosendo,After 20 years in the game, owning 32 properties and managing 300+, I’ve seen a range of markets and strategies.

But it really depends on how good your marketing is.

I have a friend/neighbor that wants to sell me his house below market value so he can move back into an apartment and travel.

This is such an easy way to stand out against the competition in your market.

I'd guess the real number is closer to $30k, since we bought it slightly under market and did some minor work like changed all the appliances. 

We weren't super happy with anything we were seeing on the market, so my husband and I had just started writing letters and looking off-market... until we saw this property.It'd been sitting on the market for months.

Hey Kyle, Welcome to the BP community.Since you’re in Nashville-a growing market consider starting with house hacking (e.g., a duplex or triplex).Wishing you success on your journey.

In some areas, we board up the 1st floor windows until we are about to start marketing the property.

I pull pretty solid lists, I find a lot of my deals off market, just thought I could reach more if I have a few full time callers on the phones.While i'm at it, how are you guys finding good deals in today's world?
