Obviously, in our area checking flood zones is critical, I'm just wondering if property in a "special service district" would deter or promote investment. https://pilotonline.com/news/government/local/article_cf479978-91f0-11e9-9263-6bb8bcc94e30.html?

Refi and cash out if possible to leverage prospective deals?

If there isn’t enough rigor in the sales, marketing and screening of prospective tenants, and in the selection process, it could be the process is failing.... or yes maybe the property manager as well.

Newbee questionI have prospective seller who is looking to sell his family home and he has offered seller financing.The property will need some renovation, so I’m trying to work out how I purchase with seller financing at a deep discount and offer as a recourse to the seller the benefit of seller financing at the ARV to the end buyer.Logistically, how would could this work, so that I can take advantage of the seller financing terms for the short term, get the repair fund and holding cost and then facilitate seller financing on the ARV.Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Has anyone done this and how effective is it in deterring thieves?

Has anyone used Prospect Now (https://www.prospectnow.com) to help generate leads? 

Compare that to how much you can walk away with now and use to reinvest in another property in a place with better job prospects.

The prospect of my being able to learn how to find properties to invest in.

(I personally think the state is going overboard but I also won’t operate outside the law, which adds to my headaches and my costs and makes it hard to compete).So many municipalities are looking into ways to deter people from doing it.

I have a prospective tenant who wants the landlord to pay utilities and she's pretty adamant about it.
