Finding a great agent who understands investing is key in this instance. 

For instance if I am looking in a Class D neighborhood in Los Angeles- which I am not- I know from personal experience that customer base values certain things in a rental.

In that regards I would rather prefer to build a mutual beneficial connection rather than one that only benefits one side, even as a newbie there's something that can be offered that is of value.And I would rather that you're blunt rather than sugar coat things, in several discussions I found instances where wholesalers took advantage of sellers through P&SA contracts, inspection clauses and closing dates and were unable to fulfill there obligations to the sellers and preventing the seller from getting other buyers during the validity of the contract, I means it's quite unfair.But there where other instances where wholesalers had built credibility by the manner in which the death, I mean that is what builds a good relationship and make room for future referrals.I would still like to know your thoughts on Wholesaling and wholesalers, please do not sugar coat, let it out just as you see it. it.

I wonder if anyone uses property radar in TN to follow the NOD's so one can get a feel what is coming down the pipeline once Auction.com gets them they have already gone through the cycle.. although Auction .com will also acts as a cryer for some sales like in Vegas for instances.

There are some instances where investors had to sell their properties since the whole neighborhood went to the city and made it illegal to do it. 

.- VA Borrowers very often tends toward very subpar lenders like USAA for instance.

For instance, several buyers/investors thought real estate here was overpriced in 2020/2021, yet property values have continued to appreciate.

@Tim JohnsonThere are essentially two ways (and a few variations) to purchase this deal, depending on how the owners are selling it:As a going concern:  In this instance you are buying the business, so it is the business you evaluate: assets, liabilities, revenues (historical: 3 - 5 years), operating costs (historical: 3-5 years), future financial projections, goodwill, etc.    

I'm not sure where someone would get the "on average" across the nation data because, unfortunately, in the MTR space there is no data source focusing specifically on MTR, unlike AirDNA for instance.

In some instances you may be able to go as high as 90% loan to value assuming healthy credit and other criteria met.
