Some will do but they tend to be far and few in between and the terms are not very desirable at all.Another options is to take down the properties with a bridge loan. 

My tip would be to buy properties in desirable vs "affordable" areas.

I understand the desire of some people to have paid off houses, but you need to remember it is never really “free & clear”.

Are they a nationwide firm?

Hi I recently won a Small Claims Judgment against my former tenant who damaged the property and failed to pay rent.Does anyone have a recommendation for a good Small Claims Judgment Collection agency/firm that can help me collect?

I will add that buying in the path of progress helps...desirable areas in growing cities adjacant to the areas that have already taken off.

It is attracting younger retail and a few firms but most shy away from it as they don’t see any added value in it and don’t trust it.

One metric they provide is new construction sales, which I can use to calculate % of total sales and see whether that value is trending up or down.My question is, in general is a market more or less desirable if there are a lot of new builds hitting the area? 

My firm has a fix to rent product that discounts the interest on the fix portion, and discounts origination on the DSCR portion. 

Without question, do not open escrow or transfer funds without going through a Real Estate Law Firm.
