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.

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.

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.

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?

It's all in how conservative you are in your approach to underwriting your deals.Even when a Seller says they've improved the property, the tenants are still tenants and do damage to brand new improved units. 

Your experience as a real estate agent, coupled with your technical expertise, makes you a strong asset to the local investment community.Your “live and flip” strategy and focus on PML partnerships sound like a smart approach to building your portfolio.

Two years ago, this approach would not have been an option.2.

However, very glad that we pivoted to mid-term rental approach around $4,500 to $5,000 that has helped address vacancy.

I'd rather invest with the local 26 year old who lives in their second house-hack, drives their 10 year old car, and is raising their first small apartment syndication that they will self-manage, putting their own money into the deal, than some 45-year old guru who's secret sauce turned out to be their ability to charm on TikTok, but really, their approach to deals ended up being the "secret" to transforming $300M in real estate into $215M between 2021 and 2025.
