I purchased a PreREO deal from them about 4-5 months ago. 

Purchase price: $550,000 Cash invested: $450,000 6 unit multi-family BRRRR.

You can also offer to lease with an option to buy to tie up the property until you are ready to purchase. 

The last house I purchased was $227,500 and we put down $85K. 

So I want purchase it as my first rental property it's going to need rennovations for sure not terrible shape just older rancher home.

That means an 800K purchase and a 200K rehab (1 million invested) can result in a 400K tax credit that results in 360K CASH back in the pocket of the investor.  

I've purchased about 10 properties for myself and have always use my own broker.

Risk that you will short yourself by not maximizing your cost seg potentialThat said, when full-service cost seg is not economically sensible, DIY is a valid alternative

We're crunching numbers and planning to make purchases this year in the self-storage space.
