Truckee has some tight STR laws and if you're in that game I'd stay.  

Lately, the topic titles on the BPRE podcast have sounded more like On the Market show, and the last On the Market show sounded more like a BPRE episode.

Buffalo, New York, has once again been named the nation’s hottest housing market for 2025, marking the first time a city has held this title in consecutive years.

Howdy, I have been in the game for about 10 years now and have mid seven figures of real estate assets. 

But after working with the family, we purchased it for $42,000 and got to work.We had some unique challenges, like dealing with one of the heirs who wasn’t very cooperative and required a payoff to sign the paperwork we needed for clear title.

I even try to unsell them on the business by sharing my financial losses, litigation,  market shifts, permit purgatory, shady contractors,  clouded title issues,  paranormal activity, squatters, mold, etc.

Don't play the blame game.

I don't mean to be a "stick in the mud", but successful SubTo is treated very differently than a bank loan investment property.I've done Subject To for a very long time, been sued over some pretty ridiculous accusations and have had to sue to clear up title.

My experience has been that purchase transactions where the buyer has no or little skin on the game have a default rate many times that of buyers who place a significant down payment into the deal.  

You should allow a 1-2 Weeks for the appraisal, and 1-2 weeks for title and insurance.
