Purchase price: $360,000 We bought this stacked duplex, lived in one unit for 2 years and moved on.

Examples of lists: lis pendens; homeowners who purchased before 2015; for-closure list; probate; to name a few.This is a numbers game so you'll want to build out a sizable list in order to have good lead flow.

I'm 53, married with 2 kids less than 17 years old with debt only from purchases on credit cards and my home.

In Cleveland you could also purchase a property in an area that is improving or on the border of one.

Hello, I am new to the BiggerPockets forum and looking to purchase my first investment property this year.

As an agent I often times refer to emotional appeal as a large factor on what drives purchase price. 

Purchase price: $100,000 Cash invested: $35,000 Sale price: $270,000 Hey BiggerPockets Community,I recently updated a multi-family property on a tight budget and significantly increased its value.

I've included an example below to help illustrate this.So different lenders have different rates (which do vary even for DSCR loans) but these are factors they all consider.See example below:DSCR < 1Principal + Interest = $1,700Taxes = $350, Insurance = $100, Association Dues = $50Total PITIA = $2200Rent = $2000DSCR = Rent/PITIA = 2000/2200 = 0.91Since the DSCR is 0.91, we know the expenses are greater than the income of the property.DSCR >1Principal + Interest = $1,500Taxes = $250, Insurance = $100, Association Dues = $25Total PITIA = $1875 Rent = $2300DSCR = Rent/PITIA = 2300/1875 = 1.23If a purchase, you also generally need reserves / savings to show you have 3-6 month payments of PITIA (principal / interest (mortgage payment), property taxes and insurance and HOA (if applicable).
