I got the property off-market for $250k from a trusted family friend.

So satellite market. 

In today’s market most homes will be worth more than their outstanding loan balance unless they are VERY recent purchases with little to no money down.

The market here offers a lot of potential.I highly recommend making a trip here to get a feel for the different neighborhoods and understand where the best opportunities lie.

Off Market Deal How did you finance this deal?

Syracuse is definitely experiencing a lot of hype at the moment because of Micron, and we're seeing lots of renovated options on the market in areas that likely won't benefit from the new campus.

It really doesn't apply as much anymore in most markets because rates are too high and homes are selling for too much. .75% rule is more viable and would be the new 1% rule in this market.

I am not sure how much you get involved but do your employees contact the realtor and discuss market rents, do the math to check leases versus market rents and which lenders use the "lesser of the two".Closing in an LLC versus personal name can also add a rate hit as well as Escrow or No escrow.

This doesn't seem like a good marketing strategy to me though.
