I am thinking I can charge a small "finder's fee", maybe something in the range of $500-$2k.

That includes principle, interest, taxes, and insurance as well.We have spent about $8,500 in repairs and upgrades including - revamping the landscaping, having the brick and siding professionally painted, installing new stained cedar posts and shutters, installing a new privacy fence and having it stained, removed popcorn ceilings, redid the taping/bedding, retextured, had the inside walls and ceiling professionally painted, installed a new cedar beam in the living area, new custom blinds for all windows, all new light fixtures and ceiling fans, brand new stainless steel appliances (range with double oven, dishwasher, microwave vent hood, and new refrigerator - all GE brand) Floors are in good not great shape (tile in kitchen and dining room and single bathroom, laminate in living room and hallway, carpet in both bedrooms) and would be the only other possible upgrade we would consider.

(If I need the equity later for another RE purchase, I'd sell.)I can put 20% down for a home in the price range stated above. 

Hi BP,I am looking to BRRRR a single family home in Pennsylvania in the purchase price range of $40k - $60k that needs about $10k-$30k in renovations.

First you should know Van Nuys in and out as values can range from street to street in that area.

Wells Fargo, UWM, and the nation's other largest providers have all suspended jumbo loans so there is no existing option for this $1.2MM loan scenario in the rate range you're describing.  

With proper screening and a diverse pool of applicants, you'll likely have the ability to pick the very best that won't tear up the property.

They were looking at a 2 family in the $800k-$1m range.

They own the equity in the property as well as the home itself.Sometimes the asset can also be a liability; sellers can help themselves by assisting buyers facing income, asset, or credit barriers; sellers may fund different types of buydowns to lower rates, provide down payment assistance, or carry all or part of a newly created mortgage note; sellers who are trying to move a property in a slower market make the mistake of simply slashing their asking price; dont give away their equity in a "fire sale," implement techniques described here and get your property sold at a fair price.  1.Seller ContributionsNOT "seller concessions", seller contributions are really a range of incentives or other financial offerings designed to make the deal more attractive and doable for a buyer.a.

I want to invest in buy and hold SFH's that range from $100,000 to $150,000 that are within a 20 mile radius of my college.Once you defined what you want to do - educate yourself as much as you can(books, podcasts, blog posts) until you feel comfortable to jump in.Stretching yourself too thin, especially when you start is not a good idea.
