Ideally I want a purchase price of no more that 150K per home.  

Zero maintenance fees and minimal vacancy is obviously ideal and best case scenario.  

I deal with a lot of different contractors and have been building a team and not really realizing that I was doing it..

I'm thinking to push for a loan in range of 67% LTV (including rehab costs) and ideally I'd be able to get 7 year fixed, but it sounds like if I could get your type of terms that would be fine.

hey Danielle I am really late on this post, I am a drywall salesman I deal or know a good chuck of installers in town (I better since I've been doing it for 9 years) On future projects I would be more then happy to give you a couple of contacts to supply labor.

Getting some good weather would be ideal too.

Make sure the HVAC, water heater, and appliances work well, those are the most common issues that I deal with maintenance wise, that can be a big financial hit when renting if you're not ready for with a reserve. 

Also, if I can acquire it through a subject to deal I'd like to actually put my family in it since it's an ideal location for us.

Ideally, I’d be wholesaling and not need to bring much more than earnest money into the deal.

Ideally, a tax escrow payment has already been established on the account to help ensure taxes remain current going forward.Bob's approach will work if the borrower agrees to the large escrow payment.
