Most of the time when a good deal hits the table it gets snatched up by a contractor or Realtor before you even see it.Keep studying and making your connections and you will land a sweet deal.

The sweet credit score is not likely by accident though, so that deserves a big congrats!

It can be an awkward situation to show a property that is occupied, however, I keep it short and sweet with the current and prospective tenant during the tour and have the formal conversation outside after showing the property.

Which I believe is one of the major points of the Homepath Program.Taxes $83.33 (1000/year)General $150.00 (This is my minimum amount, no matter the % of rent)Insurance $70.83 (850/year)Mgmt Fee $68.00 (8% of 850/month rent)Vacancy $51.00 (6% or 1 month/year)After I ran those numbers, I found my sweet spot of 15% ROI at a 40k purchase price.

I did this once and the people who answered...without pause...told me not only does the applicant not live there, they live across the street and are moving because they were getting kicked out for the grandson's drug dealing.None of this would have shown up on the criminal history of the sweet little grandmother who gave me the application.

It seems to be a current sweet spot in this crazy Seattle buy and hold market

It's a constant pendulum swing to try to find the sweet spot.
