Hi David,Check with the local municipality, they may offer a way to get discounted flood insurance coverage or know who to contact in order to get a survey done for less $$ out of pocket.

That might be the niche to pursue, if they get marching orders, they might need to sell quickly at a discount, or might OWC

The property could literally not rent for 12 months and then sell at a 20% discount after 10K repairs and would be just fine financially.

You can put a bunch down and force it to cash flow, but all you're doing is hiding a loser.You should be buying at a much greater discount.

On a single fam, I'd rather get a place that needs rehab at discount, than turnkey...heck, pretty much the same with a multi.

Any creative ways for them to get a loan, sell the property at a discount, use the loan to pay the balance of the mortgage, and make payments on the small loan?

If there were no chance of default or early payment of the note, then the note's value would simply be the sum of the time-discounted future payments.Of course there is the chance of default, so the credit score of the person making the payments and also the value of the collateral secured by the note should be taken into account.

The inspection will note all the issues they see, and then the buyer will want to haggle a discount or repair credit to cover those items.

You can get a $46k discount (plus California’s grab) off any investment property you could identify in 45 days or less and close on in 180 days or less as long s it costs at least $340k and you put down at least $244k.
