my family helped with that one as well, they'd go look at listings when they hit the market and do a kind of a pre-screen. 

For example, call FSBOs, expired listings, geo leads, and/or distressed seller leads (pre-foreclosure, probate, etc.)3.

When doing a BRRRR with an SFR, the rents are increased from the pre-rehab standpoint, but I’ve already built that rent number into my calculations.

The rest were Reg D 506 (b) that allowed up to 35 sophisticated investors, but required a substantive pre-existing relationship with the sponsor.

I have had an investor on a window job pre pay 11k, contractor vanished, they sued, sheriff couldn't serve them because they couldn't find them.From their perspective - they received their money, and if they are "storm chasers" East TN and NC have unlimited work right now.

Get pre-qualified for a loan and look for a multi-family to purchase instead of a single-family. 4.

I would also have a pre and post plumbing test performed.

My guess is 99%+ of agents have no familiarity with off-market deals or the real nuances of the laws, they do exactly what their brokerage tells them to do with appropriate checklists and pre-written forms/contracts.

I spent a year in pre-foreclosure and had no luck.
