You'll want to find a title company willing to do same day closing or next day closings so that your lender has their funds returned either the same day or no longer than 48hrs.

Hi,We are just in the thick of this right now, so I might be able to offer a little insight.It depends a LOT on the return the Private Investor expects on their money.

Seems to me that if the seller doesn't need the money they would potentially make a far better return on their investment by using seller financing vs putting it in the bank or investing it in mutual funds or stocks.

It appears the units are below market, however with some cosmetic repairs and perhaps some capex's I feel I could increase the rent by at minimum (based on local comps) 68%.I would offer 85% of list and estimated $20,000 in repairs/upgrades (this is probably a generous estimate - the property appears to be in good shape, basically needs a face lift).With all these figures, including the 50% rule, financing with 20% down @ 3.5%, I come out to a profit of $262 per unit and a cash-on-cash return of 9.53%.So, does this seems reasonable?

Nice @kasankelleyI always try to calculate my repairs on a rental so the end result will bring me 20% return on my renovation money. 

But for the average Joe, we aren’t set to inherit tons of money from our family, we tried the stock market but we’ve ended up with average 7-8% returns, maybe some of us have great ideas, but we don’t have the connections and/or the network to adequately fund our business ventures.Raising money to purchase a home is relatively easy for the vast majority of people and in some cases can be shockingly affordable.

HOWEVER Zillow returns zero Fourplexes.
