We dug a little deeper and found out the city had a timeline to expand water and sewer services within 18 months.

I used a LOC to build a 12 site RV park in a small town, opened it up and 1.5 mnths later, I'm full occupancy and servicing the debt (some of it at 8.75%) & cash flowing.

Newer appliances, free nice laundry, 2nd floor, yard space, storage, clean bathroom, included heat, installed window A/C.Appraisal suggested the unit was worth 2,300 a month, which I felt was a bit high, so I listed it for $2,150 with no move in fee and a 2k deposit.

Quote from @NA Hirsch: What service do you recommend for doing a soft pull on a potential borrower's credit?

Is there anyone that offers a service or fee to stand in for you at an auction if you are out of state and can't make it there at that time? 

A local lender can be helpful since they often understand the market better and may offer more personalized service, but it’s not always necessary if the terms are great. 

Typically, all services that PM does will have a charge, as that's the only way they make money.

Have you thought about telling him to consider getting a temp service job to raise the money.

turnkey is just a bundle of services. 

We don't allow any "deal-making" in the forums, which includes advertising your services or properties, looking for partners, etc.
