We have a RE attorney & mortgage broker to make sure our operation is legal & compliant.

They are even working on getting me the evicted tenant's security deposit, the missing JANUARY rent since the place is still empty, and covering the cost of my own manager re-listing the property.

Selling to you could begin to feel like an appealing alternative to dealing with the hassle of re-renting the home.If they’re open to selling, you can share what you’d be willing to pay based on your research and pre-approval.

when your in a fund U have an interest in a fund that then has interest in RE and you are once removed from an control.

Any experience with RE investing? 

I used a RE agent to show vette and place tenant for the first months rent.. then I self managed..

Quote from @Dave Allen: I'm in a bit of a situationMy wife and her parents are selling a duplex they own together.My wife is trusting me to re invest into cash positive investments.We could stand to take as much as a quarter million, and tax free since we lived in the property 2 of the last 5 years.What are some suggestions for markets that would provide cashflow?

Improving units to achieve re-pricing which changes revenue and thus property value.

Question:Should I approach the seller directly or go through a RE agent?
