If similar homes are sitting for 30-70 days, it’s probably a pricing issue.

We agreed to address the issues left by the previous tenant and you did not want us to handle it.

Quote from @Jason Burkart: Quote from @Linda Weygant: A few issues come into play on this.1. 

Hitting these targets could be the key to unlocking lasting investment returns.Before diving in, developers need to complete pre-submittal steps, including issuing a "Notice of Intent."

Meanwhile, the sellers who are most likely to offer creative financing are normally the owners of  real estate that have issues.....condition.....low barrier/over supply market......or perhaps pricing issue, and one of these factors is why its not marketable in a arms length transaction and why creative financing would be accepted.

With this in mind, if you intend to leverage short-term debt (hard money), it's even more vital that your underwriting is thorough and that you have the correct systems in place to tackle potential issues.

Covering the mortgage isn’t an issue, but I’m considering factors like: Multi-Family: House hacking would help offset costs right away, but I’d likely need to put money into renovations upfront.Single-Family: Easier move-in with no immediate renovations needed, plus potentially lower tenant turnover once I rent it out For those who have been in a similar situation, what did you choose and why?

Amongst other issues selling will cost you at least 6%.

Apologies if it is long, but I have been going back and forth on this issue for a while and would like some input. 

They’re making sure they are aware of anything bad happening or issues they need to be aware of.
