Examples of lists: lis pendens; homeowners who purchased before 2015; for-closure list; probate; to name a few.This is a numbers game so you'll want to build out a sizable list in order to have good lead flow.

Hello, I am new to the BiggerPockets forum and looking to purchase my first investment property this year.

Purchase price: $100,000 Cash invested: $35,000 Sale price: $270,000 Hey BiggerPockets Community,I recently updated a multi-family property on a tight budget and significantly increased its value.

What type of property do you plan to purchase(Single, multi, commercial, etc) and where do you plan to buy it?

Purchase price: $530,000 Cash invested: $100,000 My journey into short-term rentals began after years of investing in long-term properties, but it was a podcast that opened my eyes to the incredible potential returns of STRs.

As an agent I often times refer to emotional appeal as a large factor on what drives purchase price. 

House hacking by purchasing a duplex, triplex, or single-family home with extra rooms can help you reduce or eliminate housing costs while building equity.

I've included an example below to help illustrate this.So different lenders have different rates (which do vary even for DSCR loans) but these are factors they all consider.See example below:DSCR < 1Principal + Interest = $1,700Taxes = $350, Insurance = $100, Association Dues = $50Total PITIA = $2200Rent = $2000DSCR = Rent/PITIA = 2000/2200 = 0.91Since the DSCR is 0.91, we know the expenses are greater than the income of the property.DSCR >1Principal + Interest = $1,500Taxes = $250, Insurance = $100, Association Dues = $25Total PITIA = $1875 Rent = $2300DSCR = Rent/PITIA = 2300/1875 = 1.23If a purchase, you also generally need reserves / savings to show you have 3-6 month payments of PITIA (principal / interest (mortgage payment), property taxes and insurance and HOA (if applicable).

My plan is to sell my primary home in New York and purchase a house to live in South Carolina.

The second is a rehab property that I purchased for myself, I purchased it out right for 100k.
