Some things I don’t see ever budging on, like a prior eviction.That’s a deal breaker for me.My point is that while there are some hard and fast rules that work for most, none of this is gospel and I’m sure that there are some solid potential tenants out there offering to Pay lump sums to overcome not presenting the perfect application package.

I have a whole background package pre assembled.. 

We want our two properties (purchased in a package deal) to be "cash cows" in the short term horizon rather than in 30 years when the traditional mortgage would be paid off.

Go across the street.)We ended up getting the property across the street under contract and that allowed us to pay a more market-rate price for the on-market deal because, together, the entire package is a phenomenal deal. 

If it's a separate company, you'll likely pay a premium because it's a new venture.Because your situation is complicated, your best bet would be to find the most reputable broker in your area, talk to that office's best agent for the building industry, and figure out how to put the package together.

I see this group selling packages of homes all the time.

Now, after dealing with the mail away, which is no fun, by the way,  I'm hearing from the broker that in the future we will work with a lender who allows POA.Long story short, I just sent off via FedEx a package 105 pages long after having several of those pages notarized. 

I like Jason Hartman but there is no guarantee you are getting the whole package (good rehabber + good property management).  

If your relative does not want in that position of an investor - just sign a mortgage with him for the amount you need - if he is a relative - I'd say do not record the mortgage (save on transfer cost) - he always has the option to record that mortgage in the event you go belly up.You should package you deal - make it very clear - what the potential equity profit is going to be - andHow you are going to liquidate (sell) the property for.

I stopped then within a year I packaged them up and sold them to guess who  A HEDGE FUND  lol... wrapped a nice bow around it they were all or nearly all rented and off they went.. took profit and moved on to other markets.
