It depends on your business objectives, how much is required to pay off the lien holder(s) & the real value of the home.  

I'm a Buyer's Specialist  in Chattanooga TN, looking to supplement my income mainly through a buy and hold strategy in and around the Chattanooga area.

If your objective is rent it out for the full 5-7 month term then another option is to list in the MLS with an agent or an MLS flat fee service. 

I don't have a ton of free time, but I'd be willing to chat with you for 15-30 minutes, and give you all of the tools, scripts, objections, contracts, etc that you'd need to begin your biz.With that said, I've also done the same for about 20-25 other people over the years, and none of them ever came back to me with a deal.No matter what anyone tells you (mainly gurus, information marketers, etc)... this business is not easy.

My main objective is to establish the first two of many loans and begin building a relationship.

What would you have on your mind as objectives to accomplish while there?

First and for most I am an aspiring entrepreneur, my name is Shane McCrea  i'm 24 and affiliate real estate specialists with Homes for Heroes.

I am hoping that the BP community has some recommendations that would help me make an educated decision without having to bring in a specialist to evaluate each potential major issue prior to getting a house under contract.

Also, 99% of my tenants have no idea what a hard vs soft pull is so that's never been an objection for me, nor has anybody ever said it hurt their score when I ran their credit. 

For any questions about scripts, objections, screening, and processes please reach out to me directly.
