Buyers don't look for financing and its foreign so they don't jump on a forsale listing on zillow.I've had the best (only) luck with zillow rental adds,   starting with the pitch;  rent to own, live in a great home while you pay off owning it. 

And while it has it's challenges, I love this area for long term rentals.

Best,Sebastian While i typically say when lending ROI should not be used and IRR is, ROI if its 12 month loans can work as well since most people do not reinvest immediately the monthly interest payments and IRR is based on the reinvestment rate.

I did attend a local BP meet up for a while.

You don't want to overstretch on the first one.In terms of evaluating quality deals, you won't know what those are for a while so you want to get as many reps looking at properties as possible.

If you find a property where the seller doesn't carry a mortgage, it is a great way for the seller to continue to settle the closing costs with a (sizable down payment) while still obtain income for 6 months to a year by holding the note for the borrow. 

Don't pay ANYONE or any company a dime outside of an appraisal until the deal funds.

That complicates enough I'd consult with an entity/asset protection pro.I don't hold residential assets in LLCs unless partners got involved. 

It’s been a while, but I finally managed to get back into the BP forum—great to be here again!
