When it’s vacant land you typically do not carry instance on land.2.

So far with the properties that have looked promising we have utilized the calculated NOI / Cap rate to determine the value and every one we have done has come up way lower than the asking price and in one instance came up less that what the current owner paid for the place initially.

I believe an effective approach is to include a seller concession in the purchase contract, specifically as a seller contribution towards the buyer's closing costs.For instance, we had a case with VA buyers where we implemented this strategy, allowing a portion of the loan to be disbursed to them in cash.

So, for instance, re: my family property that needs patching up, would you advise saving 50% of the cost of the renewal before looking into loans and such?

For instance as a lender we are not allowed to send a credit report to a borrower because we are not a credit reporting agency.

For instance the mortgage broker has their license but isn’t active in buying/selling real estate so gives it to you as a referral.

I had a few instances where rent was late for some reason or another.

For instance, with STRs, why won't an investor spend an hour on AirBNB for their area to identify listings that:1) rank the highest2) occupancy 95%+3) ADR $750+4) hosts have 2+ properties5) listings are branded with 20k+ Instagram followersetcThen, reach out to those top operators; as many don't have the time or gave up on cold outreach, yet they've done the hardest 90%, have skin in the game, and outcompeted thousands of listings nearby.

For instance, there is a duplex for sale close to the University is for sale for 360k.

For instance if I can cash flow $400 per $190k house in pa or $500 for a $425k house in nj the math is very simple and would be doing the two PA houses.
