Buildium and Rentprep will also need the video tour, and the home office ownership or lease info if you want to be able to run credit/background checks directly without having the applicant submit and then approve you to receive the data.

I'll message you directly if that's okay! 

If it is a direct lender you are able to work to find more favorable terms because they usually determine their terms on a deal by deal basis. 

To be direct, I give this same advice to investors who ultimately realize they want to be passive.  

I have been cold calling direct-to-seller and working with brokers to find deals.I don't understand how properties, in East Boston, for example, are trading at around 5.3 cap when rates are around 6.5%.

They also have been directed by someone high in his organization to attack other groups to  not just disrupt but to try and get people to ask for refunds.Many of these are "infuencer" types and not even wannabe or actual real estate investors. 

Sellers often favor buyers who can make larger down payments, as it indicates stronger financial backing and reduces the risk of the deal falling through due to financing issues.Additionally, SFH properties are more accessible to a wider range of buyers, including first-time homebuyers and families, which can lead to less direct competition from institutional investors.

I just worry about some worst case scenario where a tree falls on the property or the property unexpectedly floods 

It’s also important to be as specific as possible in the scope of work for each line item—clear details can save you from misunderstandings or unexpected costs later on.I specialize in consulting services for situations just like this, helping clients work confidently with contractors by bridging the knowledge gap.

I also have multiple streams of income and the ability to reduce my expenses sharply if needed to payoff a major unexpected expense.
