ARV $58-$62kI've never approached a seller to make a package deal and would be interested in hearing from those that have done this.

I'm not quitting my day job (the earliest would be 8.5 years from now to claim my pension and retirement benefits) but we will look for our 3rd source of income and take the long approach to transitioning out of corporate world.Too me, this is a Marathon, not a SprintGood Luck!

I approached them with specific terms that would benefit them and secure their investment on me (interest, payment due dates etc..). 

Whom do you approach for getting this kind of return?

@Lane Nelson, the approach my lawyer suggests is to treat the occupier as a defacto tenant.

In an absolute worst case scenario you could just approach contractors and tell them the scope of the work (and that you want them to do the work for you) without telling them that it's already done.

Empathy and compassion make space for a clear, intuitive approach to identifying neighborhoods – where human people live – that are ripe for flipping fair.

Starting out, how did you approach brokers so that they would actually talk to you seriously and not just consider you a tire-kicker? 

While I'm sure this will vary from appraiser to appraiser, I've noticed in my markets that appraisers seem to be more willing to use older comps before they'll extend the radius of their search.I've been in your position before (numerous times) and here's the approach we took (sometimes it worked and sometimes it didn't - just depended on that specific appraiser):If you had multiple offers on the property, make sure the appraiser is made aware. 

In certain situations appraisers will look at the income approach...or some combination of both.
