It seems a traditional sale gobbles up half of it in closing costs.We refinanced early last year, and another refi would cost ~$5k, plus w/ the LTV, I don't think the numbers work out just right.Too bad we were too naive to even consider those offers when they were handed to us.

Arthur - As I mentioned to another poster above, please call the SEC and give them all the details about your interactions with RADD, about company insiders looting their investment capital in the bright light of day through the use of multi million dollar promissory notes between the Mendenhall family and the company, that they've been paying their sales force in Ontario and Pennsylvania via 1099 and that a review of the real estate assets in Philadelphia newspaper and Texas that is subject to foreclosure litigation does not match up to what they should have been purchasing based upon what is described in their sales presentations.  

I’ve had to widen my search radius to smaller suburbs or target properties needing light cosmetic work to make the numbers work.Value-add opportunities: Adding amenities tenants love, like finished basements or upgraded kitchens, seems to justify rent premiums in this market.Navigating the competition:Be creative with financing: Seller financing or partnering with other investors has been helpful to secure deals when conventional offers didn’t cut it.Work with local agents and wholesalers: They often have their finger on the pulse of off-market opportunities, which is critical in a hot market.For those new to suburban Chicago investing, I’d say the key is finding the “sweet spot” neighborhoods—ones on the rise but not yet maxed out in price.

Seems like there are a lot of individuals in this boat  -  especially in my sons line of work  - which is lighting and tech for special events and music tours.

What do you mean by "traditional 6-month financing route"?

Dan, Investment HELOCS are extremely hard to achieve considering they are not DSCR underwrites. they are more traditional conventional qualifications.

I've been to this restaraunt near there, it was good, traditional Portuguese fare: Restaurante D'el ReiLargo Mouzinho de Albuquerque 1, 2745-182 Queluz, Portugal https://goo.gl/maps/CWh25LuB59UgFZ6p6.

That level of diligence isn't possible with human effort or even traditional data processing techniques.I would like to expand to investors in the future but this technology is very new. got it also commerical Brokers I suspect would be a target for you.. 

I used Roofstock to sell one of my rental properties in TX as their sales commission is lower than going through traditional sales channels. 

This is a key difference from traditional buyer agency, where the agent keeps this commission.3.
