Brian: I'm curious that you say a lot of realtors don't want to do short sales.

Offer tenant/buyer an attractive incentive to carry through with the purchase at the end of the lease (say a $10K credit against sale price).Charge at least enough rent to at least cover your mortgage, taxes & insurance cost.

I have done my research and know that the risk is higher then with say a physical piece of Land/Property so the return needed to be profitable enough to a investor.If anybody has any thoughts on who I could go to with this opportunity to potential investors, please let me know.ThanksJody

If you are just starting out, with say a MFH owner-occupied, it does not seem necessary to create an LLC.

The current owners say a guy told them he would buy their Redemption Rights for $2,500 and give them 45 days to move out.

They're less likely to know how to fix minor issues (say, a leaky faucet or toilet), and sometimes less likely to care.If you allow 9 month leases, some summers you might get summer tenants and some summers you might not.

You could offer a hundred percent of comps, but give them payments, say a seller financing payment that would allow you to rent the property out and get cash flow out of it.

Say a new roof is $5k and lasts for 20yrs...should I set aside in my "reserve funds" about $250 per year or $20.85 /month?

When you have units that are in need of alot of rehab or say a building that is a failed construction project and requires completion, that approach may be given the greatest weight in assessing value.

You have let's say a list of 1,000 investors who you think the property would work for.
