I am military and one of my favorite methods is targeting fellow military members and buying the homes subject to the existing loan since many members move every 2-3 years and often don't have sufficient equity built up to really make selling the traditional way and paying agent fees worth it especially if they bought using a 0 down VA loan which is very common. 

Is this common place?

@Dieter Best  What you are talking about is a Ratio Utility Billing System (commonly known as a RUBS program) is a method for allocating billed utility expenses to residents of a multifamily.

Hey Neisa - in all honesty, it's not that common to hire a inspector to walk a property before you are actually under contract.

I’ve seen a big commonality between real estate investors and them being collegiate athletes.

It is a common mistake that I see often, so I don't fault you for it.

Outright sale: Cash buyers, because the price point is lower this is very common.4.

A market that is both expanding and stable might offer an ideal setting for real estate investment and rental property ownership.Even while flipping and repairing may be more common in your area, the BRRRR method could still be a good choice if the circumstances warrant it.

Not sure the size etc, Also make sure to stipulate a timeframe as solar would take years to negotiate - do not be shocked if the seller wants a non refundable depositThis is very common in these types of transactions.

Mike, each lender has their different overlays, but if you’re looking to get a hard money and or Bridge loan to begin the BRRRR  strategy, here’s a list of the most common documents lenders may ask for:- experience / track record- personal financial statement- scope of work / budget- LLC entity docs- maybe bank statements (lender dependent)everyone is different and each loan is a snowflake.
