I alleviate the sellers concern and let them know that the buyer very much wants to buy the place.

I would very much appreciate any feedback and please let me know what you think...Dear <NAME>,My name is Allen, and I am a local real estate investor looking to purchase homes in the <CITY> and surrounding areas.My team and I specialize in alleviating many of the issues that home owners face when it comes time to selling their properties.

That would alleviate stress and free up your time to decide if you want to invest in a rental property that will get you closer to 1% rent to property value.

A banker I am networking with to try and understand what is needed to finance larger projects (you would think it's the cure to cancer, irradiating smallpox, and alleviating poverty...) recently wrote this quote and I am sharing it with you as much as it's probably helpful self-reflection for any BP members, "many [entrepreneurs] rarely get a chance to spend time in that house because they are so caught up in being entrepreneurs."5.

When I lived there about 6 years ago there was just one bridge to get across downtown so traffic could backup a bit during rush hour, but they just put in a second and should really alleviate that.

Nope, no piles of cash laying around but I would be able to save up a good down payment in a few years time which would hopefully alleviate me from paying for private mortgage insurance.  

I'll just throw out there that regardless of whether a platform has 506(b) or (c) offerings, it is generally helpful for aggregators to reach out to platforms for which they plan to cross-post offerings to have a conversation with the platform first--to ask about their policies, ask permission (or possibly sign agreements) that permit cross-posting, and to generally alleviate other concerns.

There are any number of steps you could take to alleviate that, but I would refrain from giving you these steps as any one of them may be modified by local rules.

However, I would hire a property manger so that you alleviate alot of tenant head aches..

Perhaps at an unknown point in the future when I have progressed further in establishing a size-able portfolio of SFRs, I could explore the option of cashing out some or all of my portfolio to purchase a much larger multi-family property to alleviate the management overhead.I will be posting a topic in the Starting Out forums in the near future detailing my current approach and I will link it to this thread.
