What do they look for to find properties that have significant room for improvement?

I'm interested in hearing your ideas on what improvements you'd recommend for the exterior of this 4plex to improve curb appeal.

I am now embroiled in a situation at my Florida condo where I have been fined tens of thousands of dollars for violation of a new rule.

Fannie Mae just changed their rules a year ago that allows you to transfer the loan from your personal name to an LLC that you are the majority member of, without it causing the due on sale clause to kick in. 

Buy and holds typically is 1% rule. 

@Tim SiochengTim, I am a local buy-and-hold DIY landlord and home improvement contractor in Western PA.

The buyer made it clear she wanted to refinance it in a year once she improved some credit and could acquire an FHA, which I was fine with.

Just as you’re expected to provide the tenant with the services you agreed to, you also owe it to them to enforce the rules as well.

And you'll want some cash reserves (especially when you get a new property) for improvements and repairs that will undoubtedly appear. 

Yet same rules applied.
