I’m seeing that property crime is pretty high and since I’m an out of state investor, I would have a hard time keeping an eye on the ground besides cleaners/handymen between stays. 

One regarding what happens to the property if Couple A fails to provide enough funds and one exit strategy for if Couple B fails to perform the work.

In that sense, when an investor buyer is competing with other investor buyers for an off-market property, you are not typically given the opportunity to perform a full third-party inspection prior to putting in your highest and fastest cash offer.I'm not a pro by any means with off-market properties.

I ended up bidding on the property, but when the bid went too high, I stopped.

I’m highly motivated and I need a capital partner. 

Michael, that's a scary Forum Title at the beginning of a downturn.Australia, China, Canada, California, New York have already droppedand the big banks have recently laid of 100s of high paying mortgage jobs.With interest rates over 5% for most average SFH buyers, are you leveragedfixed at 3-4%?

Unfortunately 2023 for me is going to be a 'treading water' kind of year as I don't know how these flips will perform in the current market.Good news is I have very low leverage on the deals, and if the houses don't sell my backup plan is to convert to either short term or long term rentals.

Any referrals are highly appreciated Thank you.

Some mentees will act as a bloodhound for the mentor, knocking on doors, driving for dollars, scouring the internet, making cold calls, or performing other services that help the mentor find new deals.

Market is overpriced for the median income and interest rates too high to cash flow.That being said, there are deals - one just needs to be smart
