So they are good paying retail.. we had 5 to 7 offers on each project .

As a property management company ourselves, we use Guesty, which offers an Owner Portal.

But the ‘investors’ funding letter in black & white says ‘this offer is considered cash’ & it’s signed by Nick Raimondi of Insula Capital Group, a private lender for Real Estate Investments.

We had a discussion about the costs I have endured and the low ball offer to cover expenses for going 5 months past contract deadline but haven't heard back. 

However, full site visits, though more expensive, maximize tax savings by capturing every depreciable asset and offer better audit protection.While online studies may be suitable for simpler properties, full site visits are ideal for complex or high-value properties.

Basically you find these distressed properties in pre foreclosure, probates, divorces, or just ugly vacant properties. then you calculate the Max allowable offer and if it makes sense you call up the property owner, get it under contract for dirt cheap, then you assign the contract to a cash investor for an assignment fee. this is the general idea obviously it gets more in depth, but its finding deals that you would buy as a fix and flip or brrrr, and instead of actually buying it you sell it to other investors.Ahh I see, thanks for clearing that up.  

There are builders that are offering really low rates.

The offering would be at 490 units at $1000 unit which allows 49% to be sold to have the preceding benefits to remain in place.

The drawback is you need to build trust and relationships upfront.Both have their place, but private money tends to offer more flexibility, while hard money is more structured and accessible if you lack personal connections.

I used free tools like Zillow and Redfin to come up with a home value, asked him some questions about the condition of the home, made him an offer, and he accepted it.
