Sellers often favor buyers who can make larger down payments, as it indicates stronger financial backing and reduces the risk of the deal falling through due to financing issues.Additionally, SFH properties are more accessible to a wider range of buyers, including first-time homebuyers and families, which can lead to less direct competition from institutional investors.

Keep wasting your time then and looking at MLS deals ;) You can make more money and actually get deals going direct to the seller instead of this.

Happy to share some contacts with you.

I have made some promising contacts since posting my last couple posts.

If you go in that direction, I highly recommend speaking with multiple franchisees from each brand before making a final decision.

So there's not a way to know unless you find out from the seller directly.

I imagine there is not much of a relationship with the turnkey service after the sale and I would deal with the PM and Loan company directly. 

For your scenario, a DSCR loan could work well if the property’s projected rental income can cover debt payments, but most DSCR lenders don't include renovation costs directly.

The owners at the time were directed to our Real Estate agent and she showed us the property as it was a good investment opportunity.How did you finance this deal?

At this point, I'm planning on contacting the county and the auditor, but before I do this, I wanted to find out if anyone on here has had a similar experience in Cincinnati and if they've found any success in appealing property taxes.With gratitude,Trevor
