RW's fee structure is interesting because it's a "look over HERE, not over THERE" approach. 

Approach them directly.

I am considering converting to a long term rental but thought that mid term might also be a good approach as well considering the home is fully furnished.

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.

The other thing I have done especially if we are approaching winter months is just tell the insurance company that we will have them done in spring.

If everyone took the cash for keys approach, then the odds of a LL getting such a tenant increases.I have never had to do a cash for keys.  

I'm sure they are out there but this is just a rule of thumb and I would rather use J Scott's approach when he analyses deals outlined in his book.You factor in your desired profit as a cost and you work backwards.

The property will be strictly for investment purposes, not a primary residence.I’ve been looking into two potential financing options:Hard Money Lenders (HML) – I’m drawn to this option for its speed in closing, but I know the rates can be higher.DSCR Loans – This seems like a great option for long-term rentals, but I’m unsure if it’s the right fit for my auction property since it might need some rehabbing.I’m also considering purchasing through a land trust or an LLC to add a layer of protection and privacy.So, my questions are:What’s the best way to approach financing for auction properties?

Are there specific tools, presentations, or approaches that help them feel more confident in taking that first step?

This approach could be the fastest and most cost-effective way to regain possession of the property and prepare it for new tenants.4oShe put in the post that it's located in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada.
