If their past landlords have no complaints and they always paid on time then they might be worth a chance. 

We gound our first property that has a good chance of closing.

My strategy is a mix of wealth building rentals (appreciation, mortgage pay down, depreciation benefits) and cash flow with a good chance to appreciate.  

@Charles Kimber - try going to your local REIA's - if the deal is good it will sell quickly.You are responsible for presenting them with the rehab estimates and ARV 

Not sure if these numbers are exactly how they work, but the chance of getting a call back is much higher after repeated exposure.If you are interested in making cold calls, a free way to do this is to call landlords renting out their units on craigslist and asking them about selling.

A year ago her physician estimated 3 to 5 years life expectancy.

I am an investor and are looking for contractors that do good work, and can come out with me to do estimates for potential rehabs.

Chances are, the lawyer will be more expensive than the $3800 he’s asking for.

Our estimates are that it needs about $10k in rehab.

5) Alignment – You won’t know where investors sit as far as alignment of capital until you finalize your deal pkg & present it to them; but, chances are some will say YES once their questions have been answered and they feel comfortable.Hope This Helps!
