Investing in land is an old method and it does a good job at holding value.

Louis and we work with investors like yourself regularly.

You can't hold them accountable to the terms if they aren't on the lease.I would remove all of them from the rental and start fresh.

Thank you for the input, please guys I am not whole selling anything. just bringing buyers and help them with the deal, I am underwriting the deal making sure numbers work for them, advising potential problems, provide market inputs, giving advise if forming syndication, negotiating deals via subject to when needed so I am not acting as a regular real state agent who does not do any of this. 

Current State: Knowing the neighborhood(s) we target, and having driven them (regularly) I have a pretty decent list of "looks distressed" properties.

I'd also have a hard move out date along with the lawyers (or whoever handles your closing-I'm in Canada where it isn't always the same as the US) holding back a large enough amount to get her to move out on time and leave the place in good condition.

While it’s tempting to make exceptions to get someone into a unit, we’ve found that it’s better to hold out for more qualified applicants who are more likely to stay long-term without creating problems down the line.

Is it long term buy-and-hold with appreciation as your primary objective or short term cash flow?

I had to put about 25k of my own money into this first deal between the down payment, agent commission, inspection, closing costs, and holding costs, so I'd like to get as much of that covered as I can on my next deal.

I am a regular person (not realtor or agent), what are the steps to buy from Crexi or LoopNet?
