Not following the requirements (within Seattle city limits will likely have additional rules and regulations) opens the seller up to liability.Additionally, the seller always has the option of offering "cash for keys" arrangement but be sure that no funds change hands until after the property is vacated and locks are changed.John

I would put in lowball offers (75 to 80% of list) on every house you're interested in and see if somebody bites.

I'm going to offer a different perspective of looking more at the asset instead of cash flow on paper.

Many lenders offer financing up to 90% of the purchase price and 100% of the rehab costs.

FF will not send possible housing requests unless they are an exact match for what you offer or if the resident chooses to send a direct message. 

Sometimes they don’t like that because you don’t have skin in the game.As for advantages to the seller - are you going to pay them more for the property, that would be a perk that I offer in addition to making a little extra on interest for the duration of the loan.

I am not spending $40k on their next step, but this looked like a good investment ($1500 and a money back offer).

Every system you try will have flaws, or you may salivate over a feature that appears in other software.Some familiar names are mentioned frequently: Stessa, Apartments.com, RentRedi, TenantCloud, Innago, RentManager, Avail, Rentec Direct, Doorloop, etc.I recommend conducting thorough research on each app online to understand their offerings, pricing, etc.

Branson’s ongoing development also offers strong potential for appreciation.

You are no where near being in a position to put in offers.
