There was even one exceptionally kind Bigger Pockets member that seemed to know a lot about health and physical activity that we even chatted on the phone afterwards and he gave me some good pointers.  

If you’re trying to handle everything yourself, it can quickly turn into a full-time job.From what I’ve seen, a well-trained VA can take a huge workload off your plate by handling:Tenant Screening & Communication – Answering inquiries, pre-qualifying tenants, and scheduling showings.Lease & Document Management – Sending and tracking lease agreements, renewals, and keeping paperwork organized.Rent Collection & Follow-Ups – Tracking payments, sending reminders, and ensuring rent is collected on time.Maintenance Coordination – Managing repair requests and keeping everything running smoothly.But here’s the key—you can’t just hire a VA and expect them to magically know your process.

Start locally and branch out (in person) or pick up the phone and start dialing. 

Just ask for a soft quote easily on the phone or email.

Quick question on those who have done seller financing:- Buying a 0.3 acre downtown fort lauderdale multi family, negotiated an around 1M price w lot of development rights, double lot. seller got it way back early 90s for pennies- got good credit 800+, w2 job etc put 40% down and mortgage bank offered 6.62% 30yr fixed (CF negative as this would make current rent roll not too much compared to the PITI)- property is in ok condition, needs 20-30k repairs which seller OKd, and all 3 tenants are month to month, pay bit under market but also ok- seller would like to do seller financing, interest only at 5.75%, 30yr amortization at 7yr balloon (CF would be positive) - id be paying some principal as well, just to grow some equity- buying this deal for the future development of the area (las olas, kushner broward crossing) so not really worried even if we overpay for it now, but never done creative finance as i always relied on a strong W2 job to get good loans but obv im used to 3% 30yr rates from covid times not this 6+ environment..Goal is to hold the property 3-5yrs, and then actually develop it or sell half the land / refinance, pull out HELOC if it appreciates.Questions:1) What does he know that i dont? 

I do not have a landline, but my grandmother who has dementia does, and she’s getting constant phone calls from wholesalers.

I found the son on Facebook and sent a quick intro giving my condolences, expressed my interest in purchasing the property, and provided my phone # in case he decides to follow up.I'm in the process of preapproval with a couple lenders, and have reached out to a couple realtors in my area to see which may be a good fit.

we have had a bit of a roadblock since the duplex are listed in the city as two single family homes. we have had evaluations done before and they are worth twice as much after the repairs. do you guys work with credit of 640?  

Realtors a lot of the time market themselves through their brokerage and advertise their services hoping to get a few phone calls of potential clients. 

I set my phone to a super annoying and loud notification and off to the races!
