Originally everything was running smooth, the single family row home was in good shape and had long term renters I was looking to take over.The property had minor problems but what made the deal so intriguing was the tenants had been doing all the work on the property themselves and for a first time home owner/ investor it was an ideal situation.Fast forward to now: Covid 19 has interrupted our every day life as well as the closing, my closing date was pushed back from april 13th to approximately may 22nd and now the tenants have advised the owner they will be vacating the property as of may 2nd.

With these real methods, you can laser focus on your ideal target audience.

People who can help find off-market deals are of great value, and agents who invest themselves are ideal.

It’s a 3-1 house in Missouri (I know 3-1s are tough to sell J Scott).Paid $19K in cash needs about $35K in rehab with an ARV of $130K.Amid the coronavirus with unemployment going up and demand going down I know it’s not an ideal time to be flipping, but I feel a house for $60K is hard to lose on.

It's obviously not ideal.  1.1 dscr and likely around 7% with a 25-30% down payment. 

Ideally you have the reserves. 

@Scott Ublacker I recently completed a private lending commercial cash out on a commercial (auto repair) property in Newport News and the appraiser noted on the report that there were indications of a underground storage tank (UST) removal.

Their job lost may have come at the ideal time for you and them.

So I am looking to buy my first property (ideally sooner than later) ...

And ideally, have before pictures available.
