DSCR loans are not that low and regular hard money loans will be in the double digits.

Maybe an investor is flipping a lot of properties and you could offer to pick up and deliver materials to his crews, clean the work sites every night, bring his crew lunch, or whatever.Find a way to make yourself useful to them, and they will reciprocate.

@Nick Rivers If you've already taken courses and webinars, then the only thing that will help you become more proficient is by actually underwriting deals on a regular basis. 

Our mortgage brokerage works with real estate investors all across the country who face these same decisions regularly.

Talk to your insurance carrier to make sure you have the right policy (may need to switch from regular homeowners to landlord policy) and look into an umbrella insurance policy.

People in the group have regular calls with sellers that you could potentially listen in on.

Clean-up costs- make sure you have sufficient coverage.D. 

These platforms typically have billing policies where you pay a per unit fee per month to the software and you get regular updates and support each month.There are a number of low-cost platforms available that are able to offer you a lower price by passing along some of the costs to your tenants (payment processing fees, applications, tenant screening, etc).

Definitely do homework on making sure you can get a clean title and make sure that the foreclosure was on the first lien.  

Not to mention how these properties don't appreciate the same as a regular home. what are your thoughts?
