@Natalie Johnstone I would strongly recommend you work with an agent that is a fellow investor like myself.

Purchase price averages at about 75-110k around 15k in rehab and an ARV of 120k++ depending on location, size, level of rehab etc. etc.

Maybe offer less as an option.  

Is it too late to sell to an owner occupant before values crash too?

Maybe if you get lucky you can flip it to an investor and title co is able to get mortgage and payoff info without details from the real owner or you can bribe that owner to give you their details for $1000 and sign an authorization to talk to mortgage company.

If you’re an investor there, how are things going?

We have an amazing relationship with our community bank, and if the rate is a bit higher, the ease with which they work with us, the speed, and the relationship all make up for it.Thanks for an insightful post.

Slightly worried about higher personal retaliation or damage to property than if I were driving an ordinary car, incognito car.Thank you BP!

This larger downpayment would require me to liquidate stocks which I am not too keen of doing at the moment.As an active listener of the BiggerPockets podcast, I'm well aware that midwest markets like Indianapolis, Cleveland, etc. are the "top" markets these days in terms of current growth + affordability.

If you’re just looking for a good investment look at an owner occupant 15yr loan and your interest rate will be the lowest.
