I have an investor who likes to find their own deals and negotiate the contracts directly with the seller but does not want to keep up with the title company and banks involved to keep the closing timeline.

Where can I start finding seasoned investors and agents to talk to?

We're currently scanning and analyzing every on-market listing in Indianapolis and finding some great deals!

Do you need help finding the deal?

If you're looking for ways to accelerate, consider these options:Seller Financing – Some sellers may finance a portion of the purchase price, reducing your need for a large down payment.DSCR Loans – These loans focus on property cash flow rather than personal income, often requiring only 15% down.Private Money Lenders – If you can find a PML willing to work with you, you may be able to put less down.Partnerships – If you’re open to splitting profits, you could bring in a partner who funds the down payment.Since you’re okay with the slower path, just keep stacking cash, but these might be worth exploring to move faster!

Then, the last few months I find the electric bills to be exorbitant, like 3-4X normal.

I’m considering buying a plot of land in the Cleveland area and getting a manufactured home (duplex if I could find the right zoning) put onto a permanent foundation to use as a long term rental. 

This is unlikely to be profit, this is to cover your costs on the backend at move out.Secondly, find a good pet addendum and have them sign it.

That is the most recent data I could find.
