I pay a finders fee to people who tell me about a property that is not listed that I buy.

Should I be contacting expired listings on the MLS, foreclosed listings, distressed sellers etc … Also does anyone have recommendations on how to build relationships with banks, credit unions, investor-friendly title companies, contractors, appraisers etc?

While container homes aren't necessarily on a black list for conventional or other traditional loan programs, homes that don't have acceptable appraisal comps effectively are.

However I did some research myself on crime rates, and from 3 different sites, they all suggest that crime is rather high in that area:https://www.neighborhoodscout.com/tn/memphis/crimehttps://crimegrade.org/safest-places-in-memphis-tn/https://www.memphisdailynews.com/CrimeReport.aspxChecking city-data.com, the average salary for that median household income is around 39k.Also, the property value is listed at 145k, which seems like it is on the lower end.

You will end up paying more for materials actually by the time the GC charges you for pick-up, delivery, unloading, storing, etc.

Yes - my husband and I are the only members of the LLC, so it’s likely we will be considered “related persons”.As a side note, by the time we intend to list the home, it will have been rented for 24+ months. 

You can pick who you want to live with.

In which case, any listing or deal I would bring he would likely try to match up with one of these buyers.

I haven't bought any there but listed one of mine that we ended up holding on to. 

Post a few and the listing so we can see the place.
