Your goal is to plant the idea in their mind and create a situation where selling to you feels like the easiest and most logical solution for them.If you haven’t already, the first step is to get pre-approved for a mortgage so you know what you could afford if you were to purchase the property conventionally.

I then found 3 properties from wholesalers in areas that I invest in regularly and purchased the properties with a hard money loan.

I’m in Ohio, so I can purchase a property with $40k cash out, invest $10k in repairs, and rent for a couple hundred above the monthly operating costs.

It depends.On the property, the location, purchase price, demand in the location etc.Yes you can make it work but you must do your do diligence and run the numbers.

I purchased a single family to rent out the rooms and it sent my finical plan completely off course because I was not as ready as I previously thought.

Is this for a primary purchase or build to rent/sell?

Hello,I am interested in purchasing a recently renovated $195K property as a 'secondary' home for the next 4 years to use as a future LTR.

Quote from @Brandon Le: Your first purchase could/should be a house hack.

I have purchased an off-market property from an investor who now wants to sell the rest of his portfolio.

The ONLY reasonable deals are:Appliances when purchased if you have a retailer that offers unlimited repairs/replacement for 5 years for 10% of price.
