are you in a fairly strong financial position?

It is fairly easy to do online.  

There are beginning to be a fair amount of properties that have been on the market for quite a while.  

He proposed 2% which would be $8,000, does this seem fair or standard?

If they are VERY professional, they will have their processes in writing as verification that policies are enforced equally and fairly by their entire staff.6.

It’s just like when they give you a tax beset to buy an EV and then the state charges you higher registration because you aren’t paying your fair share. 

I have also never seen an RE syndication offering without an appreciation play.while mostly my purchases (all but 1) have had some cash flow, my last one was negative cash flow using 50% rule (which was fairly accurate to my detailed underwriting) and goes positive this year but in 2.5 years I have value ~$500k above costs.  

My approach is probably fairly unique in that if the homeowner wants to keep the house and would traditionally not be able to, I point them in the direction of their equitable remedies and have had success helping folks keep their house and work out a sweet deal with the finance company to boot; I've retained a minority equity stake in the properties as a result.In the case where it's a non-owner occupied property and the investor no longer wants the headache, I negotiate either an acquisition in trust of the LLC/Corporation that is holding the deed, or have the deed quit claimed to me individually.

You also have to actively pursue the leads on FF - it's fairly rare that they come to you directly. 

I've run the numbers on homes in our price range within a 3hr drive radius of our zip and they just don't make sense as rental units.I'm fluent in Spanish so other than the financing problem maintaining a rental in Costa Rica vs another market in the USA that requires a flight is fairly comparable from my perspective.Its funny because buying a sub 70k house anywhere in the US would be so easy for us.
