Buyers have trouble underwriting deal with current rates, so price goes down.  

Currently are closing on our first duplex In RI with the VA loan. 

It normally doesn't cost you any money to open and to be able to access that large amount of equity to buy or stabalize your current portfolio allows you so much more opportunity costs.For instance, I took a $200K LOC out on my primary residence when I first started in real estate.

Have you approached the current owner of the car washes to see how much they want in a sale?

Hey BP family, I'm currently trying to help out a family in need from having to foreclose on there property by taking over subject to, it has a high interest rate although the entry is around 20k I want to wholesale this ultimately Is it possible for me, to disregard my initial assignment fee to get a buyer asap and add a 2nd lien on the property as my fee? 

In general, active STR permits can transfer to a new owner (one time) and new applications would be subject to a currently short waitlist. 

Im currently renovating the 1st fl apt and turned on the heat.

I am not unsure of your current income & life circumstances.

Sad truth of our current legal system, but if you go through the eviction process and he loses all this stuff, you are in the clear. 

@Tannia CastroRecommend exploring as many sources as possible to get referrals AND cross-reference them to get as much accurate information as possible.Check out NARPM.com, BP’s Property Manager Finder (BiggerPockets: The Real Estate Investing Social Network), etc.Also, encourage you to learn from the mistakes of others - by reading posts here on BiggerPockets about owners not having their expectations met by their current Property Management Company.
