For the amount of investment, I think the number are workable.

So far, my Germa friend has the most workable plan, possibly!

So, low response but high conversion.Of course, there is another factor with the short sales, only about 40% actually get approved by the bank at a price that's workable for us.

@Alan TaylorMoving part of the wall, as Matt suggests, is more workable, but still the kind of headache that I would not go through, not because I don't have the technical skill and experience to do it, but because I wouldn't see the long-term benefit of going through with it.

Solutions that have proven workable...Rental income as qualifying income, including future income from the property being purchased.Spouse's income & do it in his name.Most creative: Refinance the primary residence into just the spouse's name (ensure taxes/ins is escrowed) and have little/no consumer debt.

Check listsource to see if there are a lot of cash buyers (Absentee owners 100% equity purchased within the last 6 months) free to view # of properties that meet your criteria for any list parameters you generate. 10 cash sales in a city with about 40,000 SFRs is probably workable as long as it isn't a place where people are buying a lot of 2nd homes

Commercial loan rates and terms would not make this workable for us.

That play in particular seems dangerous for a newbie, but workable for a more experienced investor.

This package of properties was on MLS and I worked up the offer to be as-is, at a number workable to our partnership.

Over 90 acres workable land was in tame hay some bush selling for health reasons moving to the city.
