The focus on achieving a higher sale price can sometimes blind sellers to the risks involved, which savvy buyers may exploit to negotiate highly favorable terms.From a seller's standpoint, offering financing can be a smart strategy if approached carefully.

Ask the agent your about insurance on a property that you are living in and renting out.I also agree with @Rene Hosman's statement that finding a property to make into a multi-unit property (assuming zoning allows it) is probably the most cost effective approach in our current market. 

I was approached with an opportunity and being a newbie I wanted to see is these members made sense to a more seasoned investor.

Can try to reposition to Class B, but neighborhood may impede these efforts.Vacancy Est: Historically 10%, but 15-20% should be used to also cover tenant nonpayment, eviction costs & damages.Tenant Pool: majority will have FICO scores of 560-620 (approaching 22% probability of default), many blemishes, but should have no evictions in last 2 years.

This shift has created excellent opportunities in these areas, with investors eager to sell quickly, turning the market into a buyer's advantage.Investors remain highly interested in North Georgia, but their approach has evolved.

So, as an example, if you look today and you see that various sources lead you to believe that you can rent it for $1500/ month, that number can change quickly in a week (let alone 3 months) based on other factors in your local area - such as a similar property suddenly gets put on the market for rent.In addition, there are different ways to approach your rental amount. 

I am not sure about this approach. 

Question: are there other property managers that take the all-encompassing/OneRate approach, but are much better to work with?

Have you ever encountered unexpected repair issues during a flip, and what was your approach to resolving them?
