Typically, when I offer to have my handyman come by to do it, they get excited about that.

If you don't have much reserves then selling would be ideal, if you have cash in the bank then holding would be an option. 

There is likely a phone number and persons name that will come up, that you can reference, since he is having bills that arrive to the mailbox and packages to the door with his name on them.You could make it a pre-condition to the seller that he allow a background check on the tenant before closing and your offer is contingent on your approval.Neighbors typically know what's going on in the neighborhood and will know who the guy is and if he is a trouble maker.He probably has a car and a private detective can run the plates.And so on.The information is readily available is the knowledge is worth knowing.

Hi all,I have put an offer in on a condo in Jersey City, which I am planning on adding a bedroom to and move in.

I found out who did it for them and the cost was 1/4 what they charged at the workshop.They also offered a deal, but I didn't feel ready .

Hey Matt, some of the best lenders and options may not be local!

There are lots of good areas for investing close by, which might offer lower taxes, better quality tenants and higher rents.

I'd offer cash for keys.

This is my first attempt at a BRRRR and need some help/suggestions for mortgage options. 

Yea the second home product seems like a viable option with a lower down.
