I am a commercial real estate broker with an 81 unit portfolio for sale in Richmond, VA.

If a property is for sale but currently has tenants in it, but the buyer is buying for their primary residence, do eviction laws still apply? 

A community isn't a gimmick, it's an opportunity for the right people to level up quicker than they would on their own and avoid the mistakes others in the community had to learn the hard way.

I’ve had to widen my search radius to smaller suburbs or target properties needing light cosmetic work to make the numbers work.Value-add opportunities: Adding amenities tenants love, like finished basements or upgraded kitchens, seems to justify rent premiums in this market.Navigating the competition:Be creative with financing: Seller financing or partnering with other investors has been helpful to secure deals when conventional offers didn’t cut it.Work with local agents and wholesalers: They often have their finger on the pulse of off-market opportunities, which is critical in a hot market.For those new to suburban Chicago investing, I’d say the key is finding the “sweet spot” neighborhoods—ones on the rise but not yet maxed out in price.

A wealthy individual, a group of wealthy individuals, or a hedge fund is lending money, private money to strangers for the purposes of buying distressed, fixing the asset up, and either exiting through sale or refi.Just keep in mind t he relationship between maturity and interest rate. 

Plenty of opportunities to make $, loose $, stagnate and everywhere in between.

That might include things like adding units, converting commercial space to residential, or finding ways to boost income (like adding parking).The key is recognizing opportunities while walking the property, and that takes experience.

Bonus 4: develop a list of questions you want to get answers to before you do any opportunity.
