That was an excellent non-answer to my question, Skyler. hihi :)No they are not all the same. some are only interested in dealing with conventional purchases other are as you say better at handling assignments or double closes, some are commercial specialty, etc....A investor friendly one would be, at least from my point of view, one that understands there may need to be some last minute wheeling, dealing, and adjustment made to close a deal, understand what needs to be done and do not freak out about creative deals.Maybe my understanding or thoughts are wrong but that's what I meant by investor friendlyregards :) 

We negotiated a price that worked for both parties, closed within three weeks, and took the property down ourselves.This deal was so clean, we didn’t even need to hire professional cleaners.

@Fara Heath  Just curious, how did this deal work out?

Quote from @Brendan Lim: Hey everyone, I'm a first time real estate investor looking to close my first deal in Columbus, OH.

Of the dozens of MFR I have closed on over the years none have been in Newark, the reason for this is it is not worth the headache. 

@Drew Murtaugh it is going to be very hard for you to do this type of deal on your first go around.

If places like yours are sitting at $2200 with no traction, you’re taking on unnecessary risk, especially as a first deal.

I’d like to discuss it with a realtor, but I’m worried that if I disclose the deal, the realtor could bid against me on the property.

Unless you still want to buy the property, the seller is in breech for not closing because you are full ready to close but they haven't or refused to sign anything.In NC if the seller breaches, the buyer can sue for specific performance.

In the real world, its hard if not impossible to get all 4 aspects on a single deal.
