To find places with high rental demand, good economic circumstances, and room to develop, conduct in-depth market research.Examine your alternatives for financing, including conventional mortgages, private lenders, FHA, VA, and partnership loans.

Exploring creative financing options like portfolio loans leveraging combined property income, hard money loans based on property equity, private money lending from investors, or negotiating seller financing for new property acquisitions could offer viable alternatives to support your investment goals.

DSCR loans are based off of down payment, credit score and either actual or market rents so it helps to supercharge an investor's real estate goals and net worth.

Based on these circumstances, and also just in general, I'm wondering how investor-friendly agents out there approach sellers that have a home that is too overpriced for a fix-and-flip situation?

Additionally, where do you foresee the market heading based on your day-to-day work in the industry?"

I'm taking all of the expense percentages like 10% capex, 10% pm, 5% repairs and maintenance, 10% vacancy, $100 ish for home insurance based on my area, 0.7% for PMI based on my credit score, and then standard amounts for utilities, lawncare, and WiFi.
