I also think good old fashion pen and paper would work best for me (since I'm just starting out).

Of course if you really have to move on after 3 days, then allow 3 days; but if you can wait forever for a good deal, then don't enter 3 days.Bottomline, give them exactly what they want in a nice and neat fashion, and your REO acquisition abilities should greatly improve; and you will soon be seen as a pleasure to sell to.Will

@Ben Rice As soon as you have to use "air quotes" to describe your plan I think we've hit on good ol' fashioned mortgage fraud ;-)  You're committing to make that your primary residence (for a period of time) and that's the intent of the FHA program.  

Related, don't nickle-and-dime your customers, respond to them in a timely fashion, and do the right thing and you'll quickly rise to the top.   

I don't know much about zoning laws though, so this may be doable or completely impossible.Looks like you're going to have to just go out and hustle up the extra capital the old fashioned way :)

My suggestion is find something that will or already is cash flowing 1% and buy it the old fashioned way with 20% down.Don’t be afraid of bad neighborhoods.

Hey @Megan AllmandingerWhy would you even consider old fashioned mailing for 2020?

But I am old fashioned, that has been the only area I have had any success in.

I just purchased a quad in Decatur and water is paid by the owner for the time being, but I would like to get that cost diverted to the tenants in some fashion.

I used 203K in a similar fashion.
