In reality, this is often not the case and the differences can be both positive and potentially negative, especially where lenders are concerned.Opportunities"Selling to relatives can be a good option if the seller is having trouble moving the property or if they desire to keep the property in the family."

Generally the desirable 3/4 unit properties are going to sell at or above list price in this competitive market.

Level of comfort desired?

@Damaso BautistaTrue.....I have invested locally and most houses in the same town.....but if you have the desire to live in different places it could be done if planned out correctly.....

Hey John,  Congratulations on having the courage to tell the world your investing desires and concerns.  

Others, where owners don’t have or are under insured, or where they lose the desire, will never fully recover.

Our desire is that we provided a place that you will look forward to coming back to.

Make 4 lots and sell for $100,000 each, depends on the nature/desirability of your land. 

Is it at a desirable level?

Right market for me, deal size not too small, class desired, business plan and assumptions, payout structure, fees, financing, operator that is seasoned and sees LPs as more than ATM, etc."
