Quote from @Zachary Deal: Choose neutral safe tones and get nice materials but don't splurge too much on very fancy cabinets, counters, appliances that someone else may not value the same as you.This is so true.

Purchase price: $325,000 Cash invested: $50,000 This time I acquired a property that needed little to no work.

That was an excellent non-answer to my question, Skyler. hihi :)No they are not all the same. some are only interested in dealing with conventional purchases other are as you say better at handling assignments or double closes, some are commercial specialty, etc....A investor friendly one would be, at least from my point of view, one that understands there may need to be some last minute wheeling, dealing, and adjustment made to close a deal, understand what needs to be done and do not freak out about creative deals.Maybe my understanding or thoughts are wrong but that's what I meant by investor friendlyregards :)

You may need to replace insulation, sheetrock, or even framing material.The only way I would touch it is to have a contractor give me an estimate for renovation, then lower the price far enough to handle that renovation.

If you need a conntection in Upstate NY I can direct you to the right person.

It would be possible in other ways like a lot of hot client leads but anything other than that will probably be specific to what that agent needs.

I'd bet that this note is worth more to you than to most buyers until the note is much lower LTV, but I'm a novice in this space.
