man, these clickbait titles, tho... that blanket statement doesn't work every time, you are correct. i ran some numbers on a home with a purchase price of $145k (mls, so the price is obv high(er)) that needed about $35k in repairs to make it nice for an arv of $225k (conservative). profit came out to be about $15k (after closing, carrying, etc.). roughly 20% return on cash outlays (dp, cc, repairs). rent would've been about $1700/mo on this one. refing it @75% would leave me 20k in the deal with about $200/mo CF.

It was an easy purchase from a wholesaler, so all the work was done-great comps and a clear title.

Thanks for the tag @Jake Fugman@Quinncy Bynum I will send you a PM

What I do to see if the seller is motivated is, I pull title reports on properties to see how much a seller paid for the property and the balances of the mortgage.

I'm going to tag @Michele Fischer since she used to invest in Longview and may know some resources for you.We work with Quinn Posner, who also represents the Clark County Rental Association.

They have more skin in the game then you do.Make sure you get clear title.

I did clear the liens and paid for them in advance of closing in order to clear title to close which took some time as they were old liens.
