Lots of us are happy to offer suggestions but I think we need to understand your situation better.All the best!

Offering discounts for weekday or longer stays could also help improve occupancy.

Here’s what made a difference for us:🔹 Mortgage Relief – Many lenders offer disaster relief options like payment pauses or loan modifications.

@Jake Thorpe  I did NOT say that I bought all those, only that I saw those properties offered for sale at Tax Sales that I attended.

Quote from @Alecia Loveless: Something is better than nothing, but I would offer more like $250 or 1/4 of a month's rent.

So they are good paying retail.. we had 5 to 7 offers on each project .

Offering a rent-free period helps the seller stabilize, but what happens if they still can't afford rent when the time comes?

This plan also offers many integrations (at an additional cost) depending on what your needs may be.

-- We focus on verifying 2-year work history and verifying rent payments with last 2 landlords (unless in same property for 5+ years).3) MoveIn Specials: be careful with offering "free rent" as will just attract tenants with no cash.-- Try free TV or something else worth 25-50% of one month of rent.-- Or, what we do is offer the free rent AFTER & ONLY if they pay their first 3 months of rent on time to earn it.4) Lower the rent 5% every 2-4 weeks until activity picks up.5) Understand this is the worst time of year to find tenants.-- Starts picking back up end of February when this tenant pool starts getting their income tax refunds and aren't broke anymore.6) Section 8: where is the property being advertised?

Here are my responses to your questions1) Not my area of expertise, but the numbers on this are very strong2) I'd generally lean towards building the CFM, but strategically selling some properties when someone gives you a offer you can't refuse.3) Most HMLs would lend you 75%-85% of your purchases prices plus up to 100% of the rehab costs (though some HMLs like to see the rehab costs at or below the purchase price).
