No agents involved.

Would it be wise to use a HELOC on our current residence to use for a down payment on a new propertyHi David, as someone who works with a lot of OOS investors, I would let you know that most of the clients I work with have never physically visited when buying their first investment property - the most important thing is working with a great investor agent and doing proper due diligence.

So as a whole your rental losses can offset your agent income. 

He needed to close in three weeks and didn’t want to deal with showings, contingencies, or the back-and-forth of working with a realtor.At first, we even suggested he list with an agent since he’d likely make more money.

Thank you Jay 👋 Do you invest in real estate as well as act as an agent?

I’m looking for insights on how to put together a deal with the following details:Asking Price: $260KMarket Value: ~ $265KProperty Details: 3 bed / 2 bath / 1,400 sq. ft.Days on Market: ~100Loan Type: VA Loan (Attempting a VA Loan Assumption)Mortgage Balance: $200KThe ChallengeThe seller is behind on mortgage payments, and while I don’t have an exact amount, the agent mentioned it’s over $20K.

If I were starting over as an out-of-state investor, I’d focus on building a strong network from day one—especially a great agent, property manager, and contractor.

I would recommend working with a good investor agent who can help with all of this!
