Hi hive,I am new to investing and trying to learn from the different options out there.

Choose the Right LocationProximity to Campus: Prioritize properties within walking or biking distance to minimize transportation costs.Safety and Security: Research neighborhood crime rates and local security measures.Access to Amenities: Look for nearby grocery stores, healthcare facilities, and entertainment options.3.

With your pipeline of off-markets, cherry-pick the best for yourself to close on, and on the rest, lock them up with a long inspection window, and make sure you have an option in the contract to Assign the deal to another buyer.

We have three potential options.The first option is for me to completely owner-finance his purchase.

Buying a turn key rental, in an area you know or knew well, with a property manager you've met and trust, in an area that is large enough for you to have other options to find contractors and property managers? 

The best option is to respond quickly and professionally in hopes that they move out.I would give the tenant two options: 1. vacate the rental in one week, leaving it in the same condition as when they moved in, and I will refund their deposit within 72 hours; or2.

I’m curious to know what others think about these options.

Don't be so quick to indebt your paid off townhome until your learn creative financing and review all your options.

Quote from @Patricia Steiner: There are several lenders who offer low/no closing cost options for first time homebuyers.

But you have a few different options.
