Hey TY, I only do off-market DTS, but I would recommend partnering at first with an experienced on-market wholesaler or a fix-and-flip investor so you can have better credentials when submitting an offer. 

I prefer the latter because you'll have the opportunity to spruce up the property and get market rent from a tenant you screened and selected.If you choose to raise rent on the existing tenant, I recommend notifying them to see if they want to stay.

Hi all,As the title suggests I am hoping to get some recommendations about my path forward in real estate investing from those who are more knowledgeable and experienced than myself. 

Single bath houses are both harder to rent and sell then 2 bath houses Did you work with any real estate professionals (agents, lenders, etc.) that you'd recommend to others?

Sending good karma and warm, fuzzy vibes for anybody interested in sharing recommendations on my questions! 

What percent earnest do you recommend?

Ideal for me.The only issue is structural issues; the agent recommended that I go with a FHA 203K loan.

Please share recommendations on where to buy basic furniture (sofa, chair, end tables, coffee tables, dressers for bedrooms,etc) that will last through the years but also be reasonable. 

I highly recommend you educate yourself on how to handle problems before the problem is a problem.

Then, contact an independent buyers agent and ask them for their recommendations on mortgage brokers that can find you the best assumable loan.
