I’ve been a licensed agent for 8+ years and have managed rentals here and there on a smaller scale but now fully prepared to build a business out of it. 

we are preparing a map of the zip codes, similar to the one in Memphis, TN (murder capital of the US) to allow us to concentrate in areas that are conducive to invest.

Working with a mortgage broker or a lender that specializes in DSCR loans will get you more favorable terms as they have investors on the back end after the loan closes buying these loans which helps the lender replenish cash for more loans. 

Partnering with specialized real estate attorneys can also provide invaluable legal guidance, helping you navigate the complexities of foreclosure laws, title issues, and potential legal pitfalls.

Other forgotten expenses are vacancy, repairs, and HOA special assessments. 

I specialize in bridging the gap between national & international investors and builders...basically, providing a turn-key process for identifying, purchasing, & managing cash-flowing properties.

Typically need to be prepared to put down 25-30%.

Below are a few ideas to think about.Appraisal Concerns: Include a clause in the counteroffer to address any potential gap if the appraisal comes in lower than the offer price.Closing Costs: If the requested $10k seems high, propose a lower amount or adjust the sale price to cover some of these costs.Escrow Deposit: Counter with a higher deposit to ensure buyer commitment.Financing Contingency: Make sure there's a clause that protects you if the buyer’s financing falls through.VA Requirements: Understand and prepare for the specific requirements and inspections associated with VA loans.Professional Advice: Consult with a real estate agent or legal professional for tailored advice.Communication: Maintain open communication with the buyers for a smooth negotiation process.Best of luck with your sale,KC

Do these properties require any type of special financing?
