They don’t effectively target motivated sellers.In fact, the market is saturated with these outdated and inefficient approaches.

This way you can begin building your network (and even adding to your database of existing leads your current marketing campaign brings in). 

What are your thoughts on purchasing an existing home versus a new build?

BUT for certain rural areas it's worth it's weight in gold because of the reliability factor vs an unreliable or expensive existing utility structure. 

The other attempt at affordable is density through what they call their middle housing zoning and up zoning existing parcels. again led to building boom but still nothing sells for much less than 500k.

Are there any features you’ve always wished existed in tools you currently use to evaluate investment properties?

The purpose of my post was to make others aware of the difficulties associated with selling entry level SFH's which tend to be in neighborhoods with limited owner occupant participation and when the owner occupant participation exists the buyer pool are the least qualified of the FHA buyer pool.

.- Our current preferred return is 12% a year, for a 3 year term (keep in mind these funds along with the notes that they purchase exist within a marketplace so returns fluctuate depending on the offering). - ACH payments are received by investors on the 1st of every month, so participation in our fund is a purely passive investment vehicle that's open to accredited investors only (and like Patrick said above, accredited or not, anyone can purchase a note).As an added bonus, investors in our fund can redeem shares to purchase notes upon availability.
