Killeen can be a tough area but head out to cove its more family friendly. as stated your VA loan is the biggest asset you have!

Local prices may stall, but at that point you can offer incentives like seller financing.

I'll keep in mind the flat rate and discount part, maybe the incentive will help the deal flow.Thanks!!

The biggest red flag was at last meeting, reserves were lower than should have been.  

My biggest enemy is the numbers.

Obviously I don't have the biggest network, considering I am just starting out.

I currently rent in the area where these houses are available and their is an extreme shortage in rental housing and I don't see that changing anytime soon.My biggest concern with this deal if I do continue to pursue it and the numbers look promising, is coming up with the down payment.

Hi Shaun,The best way for foreign investors to buy in the US is through an LLC.The biggest hurdle is with the bank accounts and getting the investors accustomed to how the banks operate here.Thanks and have a great day.

My biggest concern with this for you is the lack of reserves.

As Jay said, this gives them a financial incentive to get the deal closed - or they have to do more work going back to the market for LESS commission!!!
