Primary gig keeps the lights on...aka pays more.

I still need to speak to a mortgage broker regarding how best to acquire the property using the funds as 20% down + closing costs + light rehab and furniture install.

By using solar lights for street lights, solar leasing for owners instead of only grid energy, using under ground water to water plants etc.

They clean out the properties and sometimes do light renovation prior to putting the house on the market.

We’ve looked at hundreds of listings to familiarize ourselves and have found about half a dozen gems (light rehabs that would be an all in of 60-70% ARV).

I.E, clean with a strong degreaser, scuff the surfaces lightly, and use a high quality paint like Sherwin Williams Emerald line. 

Located near traffic light  intersection.

I had even replaced some of the oven elements & light bulbs earlier in the early to keep it "like new". 

In short, this is the exact same process as any other transaction...contract, title, close...some thoughts...Down- 25k is a bit light (even though this is all relative...I personally offer 10% down to open and some folks are fine with that)...I would ask for 20% down to protect the interest of your client...the buyer would get a 75% LTV product from a bank if they were not occupying the property.

I suggest you read read this article, as Brandon Turner does a great job shedding light on the subject.
