The MLS will show active available rentals you'd be competing with and rented properties showing exactly what the owner/landlord received on the lease.

So I found a for sell by owner property that is a mobile home that has been converted into a two unit duplex (units have been furnished by owner).

New to real estate investing and was just wondering what it actually takes to get a deal done from A-Z with an out of state home owner.

This banking platform is specific to business owners, not necessarily RE investors like Baseline.

I have contacted both owners.

Some just make perpetual threatening phone calls.Some start court actions, so they get a money judgment which they can use to at least garnish state income taxes (you can't garnish federal returns).Property owners need to start asking PMCs HOW they will execute their services, so owner expectations can be better met:)

Some things to consider when looking into multifamily is to purchase as owner occupied also called House Hacking.

The couple is divorced. both names on the mortgage. went to auction for foreclosure now. some equity for the owner probably still in property. existing/defaulting FHA loan at a low rate. 

We as the owner's Property Manager go to the meetings and help the owner get approval. 

I am based in Greater Philadelphia region and worked on a deal the owner sold 75K sq ft self storage and kept 20K sq ft of contractor specific self storage.
