Can pay cash but prefer to finance part of it How did you add value to the deal?

To do this, you'll need other sources of income that are tax "preferred".

You can often get better rates with a national lender, but the customer service is non-existent, communication probably sucks, they may ask for the same documents multiple times, etc.

That being said, there’s nothing wrong with investing in blue collar areas but I prefer to invest in the ones that have a higher degree of owner occupancy because the residents of those areas care about where they live and have deeper roots.  

@Jules AtonWe have started marketing to our guests as it is cheaper to keep a customer than to find a new one.

Without the tenant explicitly stating (preferably in writing) you can trash whatever is left, you likely have a requirement to store items left behind. 

Understanding the preferences of the Hamptons luxury market is essential.

All interest rates and payment plans are custom made to work for both parties therefor creating a win win scenario.As far as partnering with the banks goes.

I currently live in New Britain, 06051, but prefer the other end of town closer to Central CT State University, 06053.

One strategy is to pursue properties (in your preferred markets) that have been listed for sale for over 90 days (even longer is better).
