It’s a reminder that no matter how thorough the inspection, surprises are inevitable.Seller financing is a great focus too—definitely seems like a powerful tool to make deals more manageable, especially on the cash flow side.

LLC's are still the way to go but yes you can't tap into owner occupied mortgage tools such as HELOC's or high leverage.

Quote from @Henry Clark: Sold 3 self storage locations in C markets.  

They are not going to like living in a house that is going to be sold. 

All except one sold for the highest price point at the time of sale.

It appears to hold much year round potential with the right tactics and tools.

Dealing with S8 tenants successfully requires proper screening.One of the best screening tools is to inspect their current home - how it looks is how yours will look within 90 days or less.

I guess its a bad example, this was a turnkey, fully rented 4 unit, and I understand valuations are based on comps not caps but the owner laughed when i gave him a low offer and showed me a list of 3 properties he sold at around that 5.3 cap in the last few months.Im guessing then, that right now I should try to find 5-10 units that I can BRRRR?

Once the above skills and tools are acquired, understanding the sequential process of the development along its timelines and costs needs to be correctly implemented.

Of you’re tired of endless negotiations, shotgunning offers to sellers who have no intention of selling, or chasing every “deal” that’s never going to be sold at a price an investor can profit, give this method a shot.
