Good Morning BP,I am starting my investing journey I have partnered with someone for mentorship and he is also my lender so I am a Cash Buyer.

I'm Wiley Petersen from Southeast Idaho, I am just getting started in real estate investing as I want to be financially free at some point.

-Appraisals seem to come in low a higher percentage of time than with conventional loansAs a listing agent, this is the order of preference for how the loan on an offer looks1) All Cash No Contingencies2) All Cash Some Contingencies3) Hard Money Local Hard Money Lender4) High Down Payment Conventional Loan5) Low Down Payment Conventional Loan5) FHA/VA Loan6) FHA/VA Rehab Loan7) Hard Money National Lender

In my market here in the Reno Tahoe, NV area there are good cash flow properties that are on the MLS market.

Feel free to reach out, I'd love to help.

That way you don't have to immediately worry about a big loss in cash flow starting in Aug.

A lender would require you to have this done, but if you are paying cash, nobody will force you to protect yourself.Third Party Reports: $17KSurvey $2KTitle Recording and Search $5KAttorney Fees ? 

I would be doing this will a local partner, we would buy the distressed property in cash and get a hard loan for the renovations.

If cash flow is more your focus, consider multi-families in Dayton and Cleveland, where you can see cash flow rates of 10-18%.

to make it more difficult, I got my family of 6 move in with relatives in Virginia.feel free to question my intelligence
