I think it has to be within walking distance tho...That's my opinion of course. 

It was located in a desirable neighborhood and once renovated would be the perfect home fro people who desired access to outdoor activities while at the same time being with oin walking distance to a vibrant down town with great restaurants and brew pubs.

And when the market turns, they will drop you in a heartbeat and leave you with a mess.If you're going to let someone sublet/sublease your rental for a profit, you should only consider it if you can confirm they are professional and they are willing to share some of the profit and reward you for the increased risk.Personally, I would walk away and stick to your original investment plan.

Unfortunately they have already begun selling off some of the properties that are either in need of higher rehab costs and or not offering the cash flow they are looking for at this time.Last night I received a text message informing me that they had an investor scheduled to do a walk through on Friday morning as part of a five property portfolio.I immediately called and spoke to the current owner and he stated that he was expecting an offer of $175,000 to $180,000 and that he would except an offer from me if I could secure financing.

He was recently a guest on the BP podcast where he walks through some of his creative financing deals.

From there you can dive into more advanced books, but if you don't have the building blocks, those may be overkill.Also consider buying Michael Blank's analyzer tool, comes with video training.Also consider buying David Toupin's analyzer tool, then find his walk-throughs on his youtube channel of how to use it.

stay in touch with your people - the so called "database" aka. friends & colleagues from all walks of life; Build systems to follow up & provide excellent client service; Understand that some will work with others - and, that's ok; hang onto & be grateful to those, who are loyal; this is a MARATHON - best of luck!!!!

Everyone else is offering qualified deal with 25% down and they walk with all their cash.

You have websites that show crime information for specific areas, search news sites for articles on that town, look at forums for that area, search bigger pockets, do Google map walk through, etc.  2.

That's $8,000 in your pocket and very few people will walk away from that kind of money.The point of application screening is determining a level of risk.
