Hi Thu - Congrats on your first STR purchase—so exciting!

I definitely wouldn't sign a purchase agreement before seeing the property.

I know for example we can fund up to 90% of the purchase and 100% of the rehab when we're funding the purchase and the rehab.

Quote from @Logan Lambert: Quote from @Alex Hileman: Hey Everyone,As many of you know, Pittsburgh is a unique market with a lot of opportunities in neighborhoods where properties can still be purchased for less than $100K.

I am 14 hours into the 20-hour online course offered by "RealEstateU."

If you had good credit (670-730 range), you have 20% to make a down payment, and sufficient income to qualify for the home you want to purchase - Would you choose the FIRST-TIME HOME BUYER or CONVENTIONAL purchase option...which would you pick and WHY?

Im looking at purchasing a duplex in middletown, Ohio.

I'd also like to try to purchase with a land trust or my LLC. 

Purchase price: $225,000 Cash invested: $56,000 Purchased 4-plex from a wholesaler.

Look for your states offer to purchase contract online or contact a realtor to get a blank copy. review the agreement to be sure assignment is not expressly excluded. if there is nothing excluding assignment from the contract then writing the words "/And or Assigns" after the name or company's name on the buyer's line should be sufficient.Good luck!
