A business partner and I are working together to start investing in distressed properties with the goal of eventually flipping and renting apartments.

A six-unit is an apartment, a commercial property, and is valued using the income approach. 

But then I go back and forth, what if I don't find a deal and I have all these buyer's lined up? 

This is just the price of the option and I prefer the term because deposit often carries other definitions and expectations.

Purchase price: $293,000 Cash invested: $135,000 Bought this single family house, and I am currently in the process of renovating it.

I have a property that I rent by the room and I collect ~25% of the monthly rent as a security deposit.

Hey I am currently going through this process and I can give you some pointers on assessing the future value of the build.

I have a couple of 2/2 houses here in the area and I was contemplating making them mid term rentals for the traveling nurse/insurance company play, but I was wondering if anyone is in that space and if its doing well?

We have 8 business entities availing of their services, and as "advisors", they should make business life easier -- not add more work on your plate --- but instead, my team and I have been checking for mistakes, or following up on action items, missed deadlines, and paying penalties to the IRS and Secretaries of State due to their negligence.

He and I strictly deal with Investors and they are always coming across great deals.
