You might consider Niche or Specialized Housing like student housing.

It's more effort to find 3 tenants, but you get a premium for your efforts.If you want to try this, contact me and I can share all of the special stipulations that we have developed over time that seem to be effective to put into the lease to make sure we keep the peace in this unique situation.Another option to consider?

I'm not familiar with this aspect of condos, but I imagine you'd have to bring in some attorneys who specialize in that stuff?

I believe they acquired or bought into Express Homebuyers who is based out of VA and they specialize in buying distressed single family.

Instead of doing things through my mortgage company the contractor and I partnered.The Realtor brought deals that were basically listed that need repairs or new business.We used a future advance demand note and a construction contract.A few deals we partnered with the seller, obtaining a SWD for a half interest, and special power of attorney to sell, makes life easier with out of town owners.

I suggest you find private lenders to partner with specially in the beginning.

Currently I am deployed overseas as a contractor and was wondering if I saw a property I wanted to buy, would someone else be able to put the property under my LLC if there name wasn't on it, or would I need a special power of attorney.

The problem is there is nothing special about this area and there are plenty of houses like this allover the city.My guess is you are not reaching the right buyers.

You should consult a tax professional who specializes in real estate...

Many will have a qualifying story about why they aren't getting better rents (long term tenant, special situation, etc).
