off market, novation agreement How did you finance this deal?

Rental demand in our market is off-the-chart; the shortage of properties continues to hit historical lows year-over-year.

You can put that $50 to work with skip tracing or your first Invelo marketing campaign.

Some will dangle out-of-market offers in a term sheet, then ask for substantial sums of money right away.

Sell our house (~$700k) and invest in 2–3 smaller rental properties in the Houston area, a market we’re familiar with.

You have zero control over the stock market, whereas when you do private lending, you have significantly higher control and contractually guaranteed return on your money.

The best way to do this is to renovate a unit or two to the specifications to bring it up to market.  

Ask them if they'd mind sharing their experience with you.. if they'd recommend the area or not, and lastly if they could maybe send you a P/L sheet to see their income, expenses etc.You might run into some hosts that aren't responsive or any help, but it just takes a few people to share insight to get a good idea of the market you're dealing with.

But, this house went under contract in 3 days for $20k over ask, with multiple competing offers, in an area where the average days on the market for newly renovated flips is 100+ days! 

I recd a bunch of marketing flyers from them last week
