From reading about some experiences people have had with auctions, they sound fairly risky.

@Ricardo Jones There are a handful of very active Facebook groups that focus on investing in this area.

You will need to get an attorney to draft proper documents which will include information about what it is you are doing.raising money today is challenging as people are losing money in other deals and hesitant to go into new deals, especially for newer sponsors or sponsors without a lot of skin in the gameit can still be done but you need to have rockstar sales people.

These guys should feel it's OK to keep doling out through info for all these title people.

Scenario 1: 5/1 ARMRate: 5.675%Monthly Payment: $5100Prepayment Penalty: 3/2/1Closing Cost: Broker Fees: $11,016 (1.25%)Lender Fees: ~$2,000Loan Fees: $600Plus standard title and other feesScenario 2: 30 year fixedRate: 7.375%Monthly Payment: $6086Prepayment Penalty: 5/4/3/2/1Closing Cost: Broker Fees: $11,016 (1.25%)Lender Fees: ~$2,000Loan Fees: $0Plus standard title and other fees5/1 ARM looks attractive but not sure if that's what other people opt for that for a STR property? 

Nobody can sell your services as well as you can, mainly because people, especially when trusting a large investment, like speaking with the owner.Also as eluded to above, what is your experience? 

This might work in a strong sellers market, or it might make people wonder what is wrong with the property to be priced so low (and then don't bother to go see it).While I like to price my listings in the middle range of what I think the market will pay, there are (for now) still lots of new agents that don't realize when you've priced low to hopefully start a bidding war. 

If you ask 5 different people their opinion of an area, anywhere they are going to give you 5 different answers.I own a duplex and am in contract to purchase a 4 unit in the Linden area.

If not, well you know the old saying, "the best time to get a lead paint certificate for your units was last year; the second best time is now".I've been told that the RI DOH may not start hitting people with fines for failure to register on October 1 as the law allows them to, due to the insufficient # of inspectors in the state to meet the demand.However, I've also been told that the other part of the law, the one that makes it so you cannot file for an eviction in RI without a current lead paint certificate, is expected to take effect sharply on October 1st.For anyone who hasn't submitted their properties/units to the new registry, I have a 15-page guide (with screenshots) that walks you through it.

The building has been passed over by many people due to the layout, but I have a creative and viable solution (boutique hostel/hotel hybrid in well-established and overpriced tourist destination).
