Short Sales, Bank Owned, $/sqft, school district, days on market, etc.  

You will get plenty of that at your office sales meetings, office training, CE training, board and association training.   

The reason is the rent-to-price ratio is good so you can cash flow, and most of the West side doesn’t have a Point of sale inspection which is really annoying.

These props were in good areas so I am guessing that is why. keep in mind true A class areas whould see majority of comps being sales to homeowners NOT investors.. homeowners dont care what the cash flow is or the potential rental income is only investors do..

Ensure that the mortgage is assumable, and confirm that there are no due-on-sale clauses that could trigger the full loan balance. 

;(- if as-is value is less then the balance on the mortgage + arears OOOPS you need to have the owner work with the bank, you as the investor buyer AND a short sales expert often an agent work the tedious and usually failing short sale process. 

Ensure the state provides a clear title upon sale.

My biggest client today is a seller I didn’t even represent during his sale of a 24-unit building—he had another agent.

My biggest aim is to ensure that my long-term success aligns with whoever I invest with's long-term success instead of making their money on the upfront sale and leaving me on my own. 

A great thing about my team is we handle the sale and property management side for investors!
