What worked well, and what challenges did you face?

When you approach sellers with this mindset, you’ll go from “just another investor” to the trusted local expert who gets the deal done—time and time again. 

Challenges?

It's a passive-aggressive approach, but hey, to each his own.Shiloh, you said you used to be in a mastermind with my brother, Kent. 

Learning the ins and outs while keeping an eye out for a great deal is a smart approach—knowledge and patience go a long way in this space.

Would you take a different approach?

House hacking and leveraging my W-2 income to stack properties before transitioning into full-time real estate makes a lot of sense, and I'll definitely keep this approach in mind.

What would be my best approach, I assume find a private lender and work out some deal with them.All questions and answers will help thank you.Normally the lender for the reverse mortgage will start a foreclosure.

Challenges?

Can try to reposition to Class B, but neighborhood may impede these efforts.Vacancy Est: Historically 10%, but 15-20% should be used to also cover tenant nonpayment, eviction costs & damages.Tenant Pool: majority will have FICO scores of 560-620 (approaching 22% probability of default), many blemishes, but should have no evictions in last 2 years.
