The guy came to me referred through my buyer's agent in NJ and from a reputable elevator company.

@Levi Bennett brokers will post closings on LinkedIn and other social media so friend them, talk to them, sign up to get their emails, etc. make sure you have your elevator pitch ready for the brokers when you tell them why you are a great buyer who can close deals

This was my first and only property and I was so scared of the financial hit to evict them and then maybe not collect the month or do they got behind.I was trying to be a nice guy and help them elevate their situation a little bit.They stopped returning my calls and texts for a few days.

My goal is to find properties that cashflow within 2-3 years of purchase (upon owner move-out).My current pro forma (closing on a quad next week) I calculated 0 rent appreciation for 10 years due to the elevated uncertainty of the impact of covid.  

We have come up with elevations, site plans, architectural and engineering documents.

I am interested in buying a cabin in upper elevations of San Bernardino, I.e Big Bear or Arrowhead.

Had a flood plain go right through the corner of a property once and had to have an elevation survey to show the house was above that plain because it looked like on the map it could have touched the corner of the house.Good MLOs won't leave you hanging and wondering WTF is going on. 

Needs a new elevator which is fine.

I think it depends on the property.. you have a building with common elevator and close spaces the chance of spread through your building would be greater.. now you have a bunch of folks claiming covid and they stop paying you.. 

Elevations CU will go up to 90% LTV, so you could boost up your options.
