Awesome gratitude - off to a good start! 

Hats off to you for your diligence!

Preforeclosure owner finance wrap, paid off the default payments and taxes with cash and assumed the owners loan.

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. 

There is a ton of opportunity off-market.Connect with an out of state investor agent that has a team that can cold-call. 

In my market the valuation with f/f non commercial financing is typically lower than the hands off cost of adding the ADU.  

If you have any notes on the properties you want to sell them, email me, to buy them off you.

Purchase price: $417,500 Cash invested: $37,575 We weren't super happy with anything we were seeing on the market, so my husband and I had just started writing letters and looking off-market... until we saw this property.It'd been sitting on the market for months, originally listed around $550,000.

Purchase price: $230,000 Cash invested: $283,550 Sale price: $283,500 Purchased off market. $25,000 Rehab. $20,000 profit after realtor commission.

Once the work was complete, I refinanced to pay off the hard money loan and held the property as a long-term asset.This duplex also marked the start of my short-term rental journey—we ran our first Airbnb from one of the apartments before scaling to bigger projects.
