Unless you can find a true deal, I recommend broadening your scope from just SLC.

Yes, your standard mortgage rates are dropping, but most of your true commercial lending options are always going to be slow to react so I'm still seeing commercial rates higher than that.Sent over a DM, but would love to talk through some options if you are interested.Good luck!

That is not true and there is upside to your build or conversion, just needs to be well planned and good execution by the investor. 

True foreclosures are all cash purchases so if you don't even want to pay $25 for a list or for access to a good site, you are probably starting a long climb up the wrong tree.

And that is true, they have someone drive by and take a few photos.

There are few markets that had higher appreciation but one year is too short for a true indicator.  

Temporary buydowns are a better option than a permanent one with today's market, but you are better of using those funds to cover as much of your true costs as possible.

How true are public adjusters since they say or advertise they will inflate it to 80k but once you hire them ends up at not much money but their fees and associated business fees?

True wealth is built over time.

The hard part is figuring out what you can easily delegate but that is true of most businesses (I was good at it when I worked for someone else, but not good at it for my own items but want to improve).
