On why there aren't more of these types of apartments listed for rent, I suspect that it just happens more under the radar, vs being listed on the MLS. 

If you want to buy and hold (eg long term rental) and you aren't planning on living in it, you will need 20% down.

Really just looking for like minded people who aren't into gate keeping and don't mind lending a helping hand to a total beginner!

Sometimes, building those relationships can lead to discovering unique financing solutions that aren’t readily available through traditional channels.I particularly enjoying going to the event that Keyrenter puts together in Coral Gables.

S8 is good because you are "guaranteed" getting your rent every month, they are held to standards that normal tenants aren't, you can get way higher rent, and more.

Great marketing can drive bookings even if your reviews aren't perfect.5.

Quote from @Jackson Ebersole: Hi Piper,It's always smart to flip properties in-state, and I'd like to share some updated insights on why this approach is beneficial, especially in the New Jersey area.Lenders typically feel more comfortable with in-state flips because:You can manage the rehab more easilyYou have better knowledge of local real estate trends and valuesYou can respond quickly to issues or make decisions fasterThere's a lower risk of fraud or being taken advantage of by distant partnersI can help you with recommendations for the New Jersey market:North Bergen: Continues to show strong potential, with average profits now around $150,000 per flip and a gross ROI of 85%.Willingboro: While specific flip numbers aren't available, the market remains active with a gross ROI now averaging around 130%.Gloucester City: Still a top performer, with gross ROI hovering around 180-190%, though still on smaller profit margins.Irvington: Home values have continued to rise, with a 20% increase over the past two years.East Orange: Has seen steady growth, with home values up by about 16% since 2022.Paterson: Experienced a 14% increase in home values over the last two years.Additionally, Jersey City and Newark have emerged as promising markets for flips, with strong appreciation rates and growing demand.

You need software to manage the lists to write large quantities of direct mail pieces and to manage bulk email.I am a master at working at working with imported data, direct mail, bulk email and working with thousands of records at a time.

Buy a newer home if that is what you really want.For example,  cast iron pipes that aren't leaking or about to leak don't need replacement.

I do think the seller is at risk on perceived  cost however those costs aren’t real if appraised at sales price.
