Keep in mind it’s more than likely most of the competitive banks these days for real estate investing may not be local!  

With SIMPLE in mind were going to focus on Townhomes.

As previously stated, do your due diligence work and keep an open mind.

Keep in mind that DSCR loans are how most investors have scaled. whether its residential DSCR or commercial DSCR at 5+ units. personally, i like them better. few reasons why:1. seasoning period is only like 10-30 days vs 60days going conventional2. seller max contributions DSCR is 3-6% where conventional its only 2% max3.

My hope is to build a strong network of like minded investors and real estate professionals that share similar goals, values, and experiences to help achieve successful REI deals!

As for valuing the property, keep in mind that the properties are valued based on NOI, just like any business. 

The homes don't have MLS sale history until they are listed after the rehab has been completed.If you don’t mind shaing, how are you financing your deals and do you do the work yourself?

If you don't mind my asking, how did you find the deal to begin with, and did you have some hint that owner financing might be on the table from the get-go?  

Keep in mind you will be selling to an investor so the pricing won't be a high as a vacant property.

The insurance payouts over last years, it's just a mind boggling amount.
