I'm looking up phone numbers on WhitePages Premium and you only get 200 people per month on the plan so I'm trying to use the plan efficiently to where I'm only cold calling one resident per address that I search.On most of the tax records, multiple people are usually listed (usually a husband and wife).

If you’re asking a market rent your phone will ring/buzz off the hook; the challenge isn’t getting potential tenants to contact you, it’s making sure you select good tenants out of the bunch.I do not have experience renting individual rooms personally, but I know other investors who have done it.

Adam Craig Is getting bank financing on vacant building a thing?
22 September 2021 | 9 replies
I purchased 3 office/retail buildings in the past 2 years that were vacant or nearly vacant and turned them around with such good success, I may never buy a single family home again.I finance the acquisition + rehab with my private lenders (I offer 10% interest) then refinance with my commercial lender which is a small bank.I was recently a guest on a commercial real estate podcast and after hearing about my experience, the host said I need to get away from private money at 10% because I should be able to find a small bank to finance the acquisition even if vacant closer to 4%.The 2 commercial bank lenders I often use did not seem interested until the building had some stability so I figured vacant buildings could not get bank financing off the rip.The host of this podcast said he does it often I just need to find the right bank.I plan to make a lot of phone calls this week to commercial lenders but are other investors getting bank financing in these situations?

Angelica Casanas I want to buy the home I'm renting - Do a owner finance! Help?!
3 October 2021 | 7 replies
@Angelica CasanasIf the owner purchased the property with a loan, seller financing is likely out of the picture.You can potentially check the county records if there is a mortgage on the property.There is a good chance that the owner will likely not sell unless there is significant appreciation from the price that they purchased it.The seller likely paid around 5% in admin costs(title work costs, transfer taxes, etc) upon purchase and will likely pay another % in fixed costs upon sale. the seller will likely avoid seller agent fees if no agent is used but there is still other costs that must be paid.As an investor, never get stuck on one property, if you think it will work, go for it, otherwise, just move on.
