Some banks like them, some won't touch them.Another thing to watch out for is that if you appraise within the 6 month window the appraiser may use the sale of the beat up house as a comp!

Not only does this create a less fearful first contact environment for the seller, it also helps you qualify them before getting on the phone and best of all allows you to capture their phone number even if they don't leave a message.Although not directly related to finding the deals, I would add that in any highly competitive area speed and personal touch can make a huge difference.

Be in touch!

I haven't touched real estate since.

I'll be in touch☺️

@Mark Bourscheid - if you are still looking into this, can I get you in touch with a friend of mine in that area?

I try to keep in touch with them. 

Many PM companies won't touch them, and the ones who do them well definitely aren't charging 6% in my experience. 2. 4% for Cap Ex isn't going to cut it.

Get in touch with @Karen Rittenhouse

I recommend you get in touch with the CPA.
