I must admit that buying at or below tax value is a bit absurd.

So... you can make an offer to the owner, with the stipulation that the contractor's estimate comes in below (say) $26,000.

Investway offers a service for $99/month that will show you some, but their search filters are kinda buggy.

Im sure its been discussed here before but i havent seen it or maybe have overlooked it,but is their a liimit in deals or how much a credit union will finance you on multifmaily properties or a certain credit score you would have to have...please state your experiences with dealing with a local credit union below please,also would u have to be doing buisness with this bank already

The next best thing is to live way below your means and save/earn as much money as you can, leverage hard money and jump in.

I will be looking to market to free and clear owners who I can convince to sell me below market (hard to do) and with 100% seller financing with around 5% interest.

I was thinking of starting a new lease with these three people, and keeping the portion of the deposit that the old roommate contributed, since he broke the lease, and issuing the deposit back to the current three roommates when they move out, and telling him he must work it out with them if he wants any of his money back (he’s been calling me asking me about the security deposit).However, I noticed in the Florida security deposit statute that I was supposed to send written notice to the tenant (see below).

Of course, to maintain your reputation for future business, you need to do everything reasonably possible to make sure this is a successful investment, such as performing a quality rehab, placing a good tenant, and staying in stable neighborhoods that are attractive to good tenants.2) Sell your rental property to a passive investor at a reasonable markup, where you then lease it back from them at a somewhat below market rate.

Yeah the situation is one corner of the back of the property has a depression on the cement where it meets the house and as a result this corner falls 4 inches below the base flood elevation, requiring Flood insurance to the tune of about 2,500 a year.

We do, however, have a few very valuable properties where current rents are well below the real value and can be cashed-out for some big $$.
