I will still entertain the possibility to invest locally if i do seller financing or raise enough private money.  

Downtown utica also has smaller shops, entertainment etc.

Fortunately, this one was very profitable and entertaining.

Perhaps if they needed a week or 10 days to finish moving, we would entertain it, but nothing longer than than.  

If the listing agent thing wasn’t a historically standard practice, and a broker pitched me what he would do for me, I don’t think the current “% of sales price” pay structure would ever be entertained...by any of us.

Use caution as STR are being cracked down on and banned in many areas, Arlington, Texas is one unless in the entertainment district which is roughly a mile circumference around ATT Stadium.

Never actually put it in mls as active or entertained other offers.

I've entertained the idea of investing due to the low prices of the properties here, but I've never made serious efforts until now.

This would be considered a 100% CLTV or combined loan to value financing and would not meet fannie may guidelines (maybe a community or portfolio lender entertain it possibly if you have an awesome relationship with that local bank or your family friends).To do a conventional loan Josh would have to have sourced funds (his own 17,500 dollars cash or borrowed from a secure source like real estate or 401k,etc )for his down payment in order to finance the other 52,500.

Private Lenders are able to be more creative with their funding, and work deals hard money or conventional lenders will not entertain.
