I think it will be important to buy in areas that are just starting to sprawl.

Looking for other ideas, and structures that would help achieve a successful partnership.Thanks DougThat's actually a lot going on.What I think you are proposing is to have your in-laws sell their existing house, buy a new smaller house with their money, sell the house to you as the landlord and they rent from you.

The list of NNN leases that have gone dark are longer than you think. 

I don't think you can get a true sense of what you are buying from behind a computer.

I have had a couple of opportunities to market similar properties time on the market, desirability etc and having a sharp property with decent ceiling fans helps.I think it depends some on the property and the target audience as I have investors with lower priced multi-units with no fans on purpose that work out very well. 

I think I understand what you're saying and if so, yes that should work. 

I am thinking about using them for property management and would like to know if anyone has had them manage their rental homes? 

Just think about what the asessors office is telling you.

Below are a few ideas to think about.Appraisal Concerns: Include a clause in the counteroffer to address any potential gap if the appraisal comes in lower than the offer price.Closing Costs: If the requested $10k seems high, propose a lower amount or adjust the sale price to cover some of these costs.Escrow Deposit: Counter with a higher deposit to ensure buyer commitment.Financing Contingency: Make sure there's a clause that protects you if the buyer’s financing falls through.VA Requirements: Understand and prepare for the specific requirements and inspections associated with VA loans.Professional Advice: Consult with a real estate agent or legal professional for tailored advice.Communication: Maintain open communication with the buyers for a smooth negotiation process.Best of luck with your sale,KC

When creating a list, you are essentially filtering homeowners based on who might seem most likely to sell.You can check your local county records site for properties with delinquent taxes, probate cases, or foreclosure filings
