@Roger D Jones curious, do you charge for any of those options/services?

If you decide not to do a DSCR loan, the second home loan is a popular option, but there are lots of drawbacks for investors as it is really a product made for regular home buyers.

What are the best ways to leverage myself to get the next property and grow my portfolio (i have some options but not sure which is best)? 

There are many other great neighborhoods in Columbus that would also be good investment options.

Our tenants have been in the house the past 3 years; they're good tenants and people, and we want to do right by them while also meeting our own needs at this time.My first option is to approach the tenants and see if any of them want to purchase the property; that would probably be the smoothest exit for us.  

What factors would make such an option more attractive?

What are some options regarding structuring this deal and the steps I need to follow?

Hey fellow real estate investors,I'm Dennis, and I'm on the lookout for like-minded individuals who are exploring creative strategies here Raleigh NC.One experience that truly shaped my journey was navigating a challenging pre-foreclosure purchase.

In a wholesale transaction the seller is in some kind of financial trouble which the wholesaler is helping to resolve.You have two options an assignment or a double closing:I haven't done an assignment myself so not sure completely of the process, but in a double closing there is already a contract with the seller and the wholesaler who is fixing the liens on the title, when that is resolved there is a closing date where the wholesaler execute the contract with the seller and you execute the contract with the wholesaler.In general the closing cost in these type of transactions are covered by the buyer which it could be around 3.5% and it does not include sales agent fees.There is one thing that I didn't understand, it seems that the hard money lender is in charge of the transaction.

This area is really in need of affordable housing, but with the large down payment requirement it rules out this option for many.
