Can we deduct our usage from their utility somehow?

How could I utilize my oarents’ ‘renter and landlord’ relationship?

Does anyone utilize a checklist when taking calls from prospective sellers in order to maintain consistency and gather only the needed preliminary information? 

As I understand it: As a 1st lien holder you are actually 3rd in line behind the County (taxes) and Utilities. 

Thanks for lookingTo start I personally have ten years in the construction industry, so my initial plan is to do all the rehabbing in house buy purchasing REO and flipping them with my own laborers, now obviously I would need to speak to a CPA to see how I could structure something like this, weather I keep my GC business and pay out my business as a GC or keep it all together under the flipping side of the business.After I have weathered the battle of flipping several REO and have built substantial working capitol, id like to move into the buy and hold side of the business, continuing to purchase depressed properties and flip to rent.

For example, if Memphis has a lot of turn key activity, is there also a banking / financing scene in that same geographic area that caters to the industry?

How many units is that, what area is it in, what are the average rents, when was it built, what utilities are the owner paying?

A lot seemed to be industry professionals more so than investors.Another group is done through IRBY.

The higher your limit, the lower your utilization rate. 

@Ike Ekeh @Justin R. has pointed out one of the major points that will determine your price points and targeted markets for solicitations.Another thing to consider is the portfolio mix, Are all the parcels 100% raw land or do some parcels already have Sewer, and Utilities already in place?
