I have investor friends in LA area offering temporary free housing.

Financing can make a big difference, and local lenders who understand house hacking and multi-family investing can sometimes offer more flexibility than big banks.

When you can access the opportunities first, you can qualify the lead first, analyse and find the best deals first, reach out and build rapport first , offer your solution first (rather than having your offer thrown on a pile of others the individual has already been given) and so on.

Find a good lender, get pre approved, make sure you practice running the #'s using the 100's of videos and guides from BP, find an investor friendly Realtor, and then start making offers on any property that meets your goal.

The lenders that offer the 203k renovation loan are telling me that DPA cannot be used with it and this is in Ohio.

one of the incentives we can offer is free property management.let me know if i can help answer any questions.

Looking forward to hearing what your market has to offer. 

If the issue continues, consider offering a formal payment plan or seeking legal advice.

And thanks for your offer to chat! 

This just protects our investment until probate is finished.Get creative with your offers you never know what will interest a seller.Have a conversation and find out their needs if you can before making offers.
