A client whom wanted to sell her home but was under water due to needed repairs vs current market condition How did you finance this deal?

@Jimmy RojasReturns in real estate have historically matched the stock market - so use that as a reference pointJust like investing in some stocks builds wealth faster - so does real estate and vice versa

The seller sets the price higher than market price and between the down payment and any monthly principle payments the price eventually gets down to market price by the time the tenant could potentially buy the house.

This is a question for investors who, like me, do not live in the vicinity of the properties they are interested in buying, and must hire people to go take photos and video.

But you have to be a good salesman, you have to do your market research, financing research, and also build yourself a pipeline into the opportunity of whichever market is chosen.I have a Canadian client who runs things that way.

We used to do a video of the MoveIn Checklist a tenant filled out - with them in the video pointing out all the issues.We did this to have "irrefutable" evidence of any tenant-caused damages, to charge them.It usually worked, but we did have a judge or two disagree with us or not allow us to play our video in court:(Point is, if you have great documentation you can charge the tenant for damages they cause.
