Usually I use Veristone for the acquisition loan and then use money from the fund or private money for the refinance 30-year fixed loan.

Does anyone know if this price is usually a baseline and they are likely to receive more than their asking price or if it is common to offer a lower amount based on repairs needed?

They usually come with built in equity even after repairs.  

I know there is usually one or two that come by.

My thought on a co-signer is that it just puts extra pressure on the primary signer(s) to do the right thing and pay the rent for fear of negative impact on and feedback from the co-signer if not...

, is another way of telling yourself they don't...and then arguing with yourself, that somehow, you can make 2 - 3 not be a negative number.

Banks will only provide a HELOC, usually, up to 70% of the property value.3.

Also learn the correct way to educate the home owner on the plus and negative side of doing this.

I am not sure if that is a good idea, but I know that area is usually in demand for rents and the crime rate makes homes more affordable.

I apologize in advance for the length of the post below...A little background on me; I have a little (mostly negative) experience as a landlord after we, my wife and I, moved out of our first home in late 2010 and looked to renting because, shocker, we were underwater.
