@Bryan HartlenManaging low-end properties can be demanding due to higher tenant turnover, increased maintenance needs, and frequent rent collection issues.

Now I get to sit back, relax and collect $2300/mo in rent plus about $100k instant equity because of how the market is over there.

You can use it for rent collection, leases, tenant vetting, the list goes on. 

Almost every action taken in the economy is taxed and the faster the economy chugs forward the more taxes they collect.

You’ll also want to know how they handle rent collection and late payments and if they can provide references from other investors they work with.A good investor-friendly agent should have a strong network of professionals like contractors, inspectors, and lenders to help with your investments.

Going private money will already cost you more $$ in closing costs, points, etc - but they should ONLY collect $$ if the loan closes.

It will cost the seller more time and energy to sue you than collect on the EMD.
