We rehab properties for our long term rental portfolio - BRRRR as Brandon calls it so elegantly, it must be a rural expression ;-)So here is the story: the seller responded to a yellow letter in February and was stuck with a house that was not in a condition an agent would list it. 

Please note, I'm posting to be transparent and potentially offer the investors on this thread a great product as @Brent Coombs asked aboveI just responded to another fellow BP member about pre-payment penalties.

Rather than respond to each post I am taking the lazy way out:) Here is some more SFH REI research hope this helps. 

In retrospect, I did not follow my cardinal rule...wait at least until the morning or 24 hours to respond.  

I had to respond with a affidavit that I did not make a loan there never have and never will without a license... so advertsing for loans there would get you shut down pretty quickly.let that person turn you in.. and see what come of it...

He responded by saying that if I use contractors within his network they take before and after photos but since I used a contractor provided by my insurance company that no photos are provided.

Remember the nice sales person who sold you the home ( like the one's that have responded on this thread) they get paid the day you close and they are gone no further responsibility other than moral support LOL)..

That puts you at the back of pile for clients in a lot of agents minds.If you want immediate help find a newer agent with little to no book of business that can respond to you right away.I have no qualms these days telling people in commercial real estate that I do not have time to help them within the metrics they desire.I think it is unrealistic to get a busy broker/agent to absorb a lot of their time looking for a needle in a haystack type property and forego there other clients.I will give you an example.I have a client worth 40 million.

When I responded, they asked for an AC unit to be placed in there unit so they could control the temperatures. $300 dollars later, and about 15 minutes of my time, and my tenants had a working AC unit.

@Alex Anderson i was about to say i would start doing that but then as I was responding I saw @Patrick L.'
