Hey BP community I am a beginner very new and quite eager to take on this role as a real estate investor what are some strategies you guys have done to get the ball rolling ?

If so, do we need to put offer on the property to get the ball rolling or do we go to hard money lender beforehand to work out how much money we need?

3) Somewhere in between 1&2 4) Cash offer: this would have to low ball (to refinance later) 0 tax advantaged.

It takes a lot to get the ball rolling but believe me when I say, momentum is real.

Does anyone have a rough ball park proxy to discount the ADR and Occupancy for an economic downturn.

Don’t also attempt to advance the ball in Issues B and C if they can wait a moment.

If it's a really vanilla situation (large down payment, perfect credit and income, single family primary residence, conforming loan amount, etc.) with no quirks at all and you have plenty of time to close, then perhaps an online lender isn't a bad choice, but any curve balls at all, that online lender won't have the expertise, attention to detail, customized service, or local presence to pull it together and make it an enjoyable experience. 

Get some trisodium phosphate from your paint store mix it up and then wash your balls down

I saw the delivered costs were in the ball park of $110 Sqft, stick built is in the $300-$400 range. 

If the seller is making you show your hand first, you could always throw out a low ball all cash offer just to see what they do.
