It's going to be an obvious patch job when they do inspections and they may ask for credits or replacement so you are more likely to get more by doing more.I don't know any roofers in Canton, but any time I see patch and roof and sell, I don't think it's necessarily wise.

You’re generally working with tenants who, by definition, have lower income and often less favorable credit.

You will also have a credit on statement for pro-rated taxes due to buyer.  

How much do they make, credit score, rental history?

For anything less than that with a traditional bank or credit union, you'd likely be looking at a portfolio product (the bank/CU will hold your loan and not sell it on the secondary market). 

This was my first investment property and I used a loan from my 401k for the down payment and also used a local credit union for a 10% down payment on it when I bought it.

You can do all the prequalifying from anywhere via credit check, call references, verify income etc.Make sure you have a handy person, ac person, plumber, etc etc that you can call when you need some work done. 

There' s a buyer who will credit me the value of the lots towards a finished and tenanted property in their inventory.  

By securing favorable terms upfront, I aim to maximize my ROI when selling within a 3-5 year window.I believe that connecting with like-minded investors is key to continued growth and success in this industry.

We thought snapping receipt + sending invoice email directly to QBO was super attractive.However, we are finding QBO to be also cumbersome and pricey1) Personal credit card - If I mistakenly use personal CC, I have to manually create an entry (this happens quite often). 2) Pricey - $99/month is now really adding up.WE thought it would be a great early learning and investment to adopt QBO now as we scale (hopefully to MTR and LTR).
