However, make sure you have a clear exit strategy.  

Do you think they get a better price with this strategy?

Shouldn't make much difference but wondered if I needed to use any other strategy to make a cash offer and then finance it without going through a refi...

Obviously most terms and the methods of strategies etc are useful in any market, but key facts and figures on financing, costs of rehabing, certain laws etc, are probably different.

In the case of a downswing, I would certainly think that one might look to move in to a buy and hold rental strategy, versus selling to owner occupants. 

If so, what strategy would you guys use to obtain this goal? 

. - not planning for the eventual transition of properties into a corporation (if deemed by your goals and strategy) from the beginning can have expensive consequences down the road  (as indicated by the investor with whom you spoke recently).

Also, can someone give me information on some good exit strategies as well, just in case things don't go as plan.

As far as lenders go, I have a wide variety that I work with again basing who I refer off the deal and strategy the investor wants to use.

I am lining out a long term BRRRR strategy for acquiring properties in Navarre, Destin, Panama City & Myrtle Beach area.
