In these conditions, investors typically focus on faster, lower-cost flips that add clear, high-value improvements without overextending time or budget.

I'd work that with them to get a lower than market interest rate as well so that you can cash flow higher.Also, sober living is more risky of a business.

I heard about setting up a LLC out of a state that has lower taxes than using your home state which may potentially has higher taxes.

I am also a veteran if that is relevant.I was told I needed to speak to a tax attorney to lower it.

Bad snow (no snow or less snow than normal) = less bookings and lower rates due to decreased ski demand. 

Of course a seller is free to require whatever conditions he desires… but the reality is that in anything but the rare ultra hot seller’s market requiring “stiffer” qualifications to make an offer will result in a lower price. 

I’d suggest you try to keep your payments and number of roommates both lower to avoid losing everything. 

@William Coet it’s a different business model altogether.I love highly desirable areas that attract highly skilled high income college educated workforces.They tend to be more liberal and therefore the landlord tenant laws.The percent of their income that goes to rent is typically much less than 20% so a rental increase of 5-10% is nothing to them.They are typically lower cap rate areas and therefore every dollar of net operating income that is earned is explosive to the underlying asset value.

Buyer Brokers may do hourly or a % of the purchase price or both because they may help you get a lower purchase price but that hurts their pay day. 

The property prices are lower compared to other markets, and the rental demand in certain neighborhoods can be pretty strong.Let me know if you want to know anything!
