PMs are busy - if you email a PM and say "Hey PM, I'm looking at 123 Main St. and I think it will rent for $1500 a month, does that sounds right?"

Quote from @David Naphy: Hi BP community, I appreciate any and all suggestions!

I appreciate the suggestion about checking with insurance agents regarding an elevation cert—definitely something I’ll keep in mind for future deals.

Any thoughts or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

All the best, Steven  If you're going to do a partnership or even a joint venture agreement I would highly suggest using a competent lawyer to draft your business agreement.

I would love to hear more, and dive deeper into suggestions with a little more info.  

Alot of unknowns as you don't have the ability to walk the property beforehand, but interesting process, and pretty good deals exist there.While the Trustee Sales are cash purchases, there are many hard money options that can turn over the funds in time for the 24 hour funding required to complete the purchase.If you are interested, let me know and I can go into more detail, as well as make some other suggestions for you to consider. 

I would suggest having a conversation to understand why they made the decisions they made.

@Joe Villeneuve @Theresa Harris, thanks a lot for taking the time and provide some info/ideas/suggestionsTo give you some color for these properties, there is a 15 years-plan that my wife and I are planning to have arround 5 to 7 properties in the same $$$ range (-+ $200K) that we can rent them around $1600-$1800I believe after 10 yrs, I am expecting to a better cash flow considering some loans will be paid in full, but maybe the next properties will have as you suggest 30 year-loan. 

Let me know if you’d like specific product suggestions—I’d be happy to help!
