Quote from @Yocheved Beer: Hi all,I have found a house in Lehigh acres Florida for a purchase price e .75 of of the appraised  value and it is for sure a 1 dscr. can I immediately buy this for  0 Dollars downHi Yocheved:One of the cardinal rules in real estate is that you have to have some skin in the game.

I'm holding out hope for Houfy - I've started getting some inquiries through them - but I'm sure if they gain enough traction one of the two big boys will try to buy them out. 

I have Rehab and hold 2 properties and rehab / flip 3 including a duplex.

Also my local church holds a weekly community dinner that draws about 100 people which is more than attend Sunday services.

yeah sounds about right, Im in a situation now I'm not sure if I'm getting scam or not, the company requested I use their appraisal company $1000 thats been about 3 weeks haven't receive anything back yet. when I requested to speak to the appraisal company to see what the hold up was.

If I remember correctly the liens are only good for a year or two, so even if they file, if you're holding the property for a while, maybe not a huge deal. 

I was part of that game years ago.We focus on PPU, profit per unit.

It is easy to underestimate your rehab budget and your timeline leading to more holding costs.Or you could explore partnering with someone who has experience in the area and capital to also invest. 

I am coming up on completion of the repairs, and am really trying to assemble a game plan on how to go after my next property.Here would be my ask from someone in the community:Would anyone be willing to take a look at my current numbers/situation and give feedback on what some potential next steps could be to go after another property?

We use Autohost to automate this process via an online check-in system: https://www.autohost.ai/You can also use it to gather additional information and place a hold on their credit card, similar to a hotel.The one downside of Autohost, is that it doesn't have an automated way to collect the ID for all the adult guests (although it collects names + email from the guest).Finally, Autohost can also be used to have the guests sign your rental agreement and agree to your house rules.
