I'll be looking at a total 'all in' cost about $80k to attempt a $120k valuation.I think getting the appraisal at that rate will be tricky.

It may be just me but it doesn't seem like win/win when attempting to use his poor booking keeping against him.

I'm going to attempt to manage it myself, since it's only one property and I figure I can always hire a management company later if I feel it's necessary.

If you have a company attempt to data append additional numbers, and they find another number 555-1313 for John Doe, they may charge you from 3-11 cents (estimate). 

Hey guys,I’ve been running into the same issue when attempting to qualify for a loan under 100K: it’s too small of an amount.

I am curious how an experienced investor would sweeten the offer on a 1958 SFH myself and family of four are attempting to buy.

2 bed 2 bath, 1020 sq ft, built 1987$355,000 offer ($365,000 asking)$30,000 to make rent ready (includes $3500 two months holding costs)$1141 mortgage (25% down at 3.125% for 30 years)$381 taxes$75 insurance$150 HOA$141 vacancy (6%)$265 maintenance and capex (12%)$2350 rent$197 cash flow$400,000 - $405,000 ARVI think this one is accurate compared to my last attempt. 

This is going to be my first attempt at pursuing a rental property.

You present your opportunity for investors and attempt to build the trust needed for them to see you as a steward of their capital. 

properties been sold at auction (due diligence specifically ) so i did something like this.I gather only relevant data>identified parameters that added value (disqualifying characteristics to filter prospects>identify prospects >attempt to close deal.What quickly came afloat was that the "disqualifying" characteristics for some properties were only disqualifying them for an investor wanting to buy at auction but making it a positive characteristic for other type of deal.i.eone disqualifying characteristic for properties at auction are properties with equity , these have a high possibility of cancelation these properties are good prospects for a short-sales.
