Are you leveraging the stability of conventional loans, the speed of hard money loans, the flexibility of private money, the creativity of seller financing, or the collaborative approach of partnerships?

This would be my first approach on a property/owner like this.

The partnership with Seth Choate exemplified our collaborative approach to maximizing property value through strategic investments.

The partnership with Graham Lyster exemplified our collaborative approach to maximizing property value through strategic investments.

Is this a good approach or is there a more simple method of calculating an offer??

Hi Dave, Its great that your taking a pro-active approach to be prepared to purchase over the next few months. 

If this was a 5+ unit multi-family where the income approach were driving the value then the history of rental price etc would be more important.

My approach is two fold:- Gently keep in mind and remind clients there are two parties and perspectives involved.- Address buyer's concerns with reputable local professional and expert evaluations and written estimates.For example if the deck needs to be repaired or replaced, during the contingency period I'll attempt to have at least 1-2 licensed contractors provide written estimates.

Verifying last 2 years of rental history and income extremely important to find the “best of the worst”.Make sure you understand the Class of properties you are looking at and the corresponding results to expect.PM us if you’d like to discuss this logical approach in greater detail!

That's 5.27% that I am getting right now as school taxes approach.
