And I am not clear if the categorization of neighborhood is proper especially when the buyer is not familiar with the area.3.

By asking for owner financing, you aren't really providing a high level of credibility to the buyer if someone else comes along and shows them a bank statement with half-an-M in the account.

Look around on BP and you'll find that MFR buyers will have their own formulas for set-asides.Typical costs are vacancy, advertising, CAPEX, landscaping, trash, any shared utilities, water & sewer, CAM, HOA fees.Look at the BP Calculator too: https://www.biggerpockets.com/buy-and-hold-calcula...

I think we're going to see the demand slow and we may even see certain markets that have over-built which could seriously impact rent rates and occupancy rates.On the other hand, rising interest rates may result in fewer buyers and more renters.On the other hand, I think a lot of newbie investors are going to start selling off because they're tiring of dealing with tenants or they're divorcing or their market shifted or...Who knows?

When you know that you have a buyer for any deal that you contract, you want to keep them happy by continually bringing them deals.

They are super lenient with self employed buyers as well..as far as using profit and loss statements and such.

- @Agents - how would you prefer to be respectfully informed that the buyer has decided to work with someone else?

They will have more information on the property than just a random buyer's agent and they are happier to work with you and show you the property because if you buy directly from them they are getting the whole commission and not splitting it with a buyer's agent.

I decided to pass on the blessing and I sold to owner occ buyers that were able to carry the license to run as str's.All that said, there is one way to do it here even as an out of state owner.
