My target market is single family homes in desirable subdivisions so adding things such coin laundry, bill boards, etc. would be off the table.

It might be the seller bringing cash to the table.

That's where I got my cash from - I took a bit of equity off the table in a recent financing round.

@Ryan Watson for HUD homes I ONLY use Hocker & Associates, they have been doing HUD closing for a long time and will get it to the table.

They have to put food on the table like everyone else and that doesn't happen until someone buys/sells something.)

Trespassing, making repairs before closing and vandalizing HUD homes are also felonies because it is federal property.I was at a HUD round table with HUD managers from 1d and national office earlier this year.

He sat beside me at the end of the table.

For me, if I know what my repair costs will be and my closing costs and holding costs and I factor all of that in I want there to be about 15-20% left on the table.

That deal fell through because another investor beat me to the table with an offer.I've found another property I'm interested in, this time it is a 3/1.5 single family home in a decent working class neighborhood.

HomePath accepts at least up to a 3% sellers credit, so you could have not only lowered your net purchase price, but brought 3% CASH to the table - to cover your closing costs (or consider it a 12% downpayment..)
