@Blake King,While you're working and saving, also be learning how to attract and engage private lenders.

If you're trying to get rid of something big or ugly (or both) just remember that there are recyclable opportunities that are good for your wallet!

What's attracting me to the Raleigh area are the strong economy and the strong high tech industry. 

A commercial loan is not attractive to me on this type of property.

Any suggestions for marketing strategies to attract new investors?

I explained the back yard situation and kind of played the part that I didn't really want to make the necessary repairs on a place that I wasn't going to own (even though I would have spent the $500-$750 to do it because that's the main attraction for this particular home and it would have paid itself within the first six weeks of listing) Long story short, he's upgrading the landscaping and re doing the patio around the hot tub and for not having to pay for any of it and him allowing me to use it as an Airbnb property I'm kicking him back 10% from the bookings after rent.

Another option to make your commercial deal more attractive to banks, family members or private investors would be to use your VA to buy a three or four unit(many available in DC or Baltimore, think old row home already converted).

Hello Guys,I hope you're killing your Real Estate market at the time of this year. I am looking for a script that I can send to invite Wholesaler, Investor and Cash buyers to add them to my mailing list. I have tried ...

If you had extra funds, you could definitely throw $15-35k into some updates based on your needs and wants.So why this property is attractive to me is the income potential.

I know these areas attract a good amount of people with blue collared jobs which is the type of tenant that I am hoping to obtain.
