In an attempt to get a good deal, has anyone ever thrown in low ball offers and told the listing agent they can represent both the selling and buying side?

Do you think the bank would sell this property at a low enough price to make this work as either a flip or a buy and hold for the area?

I have many other interests so I don't focus on the handyman work as much as some people might think I should, and my lifestyle and bills are all geared towards low income, including living in a 1 bedroom home with low bills and taxes, and driving older cars.

We've been eying restaurants, especially QSR's but what we've been finding is that these are commanding a premium (especially if they're corporate tenants, not franchisees) and come with fairly low CAP rates and the ability to negotiate the prices is almost non-existent.

Also, depends on how much equity you have in the house or is it really required if you have a non-recourse loan with low equity?

I don't know whether I'll end up using this option, but I'm really glad to know that it exists.The rates are higher than for conventional mortgages, but down payments can be as low as 15%.

This seems depressingly low for the potential of success for the renters and pretty much a cash grab for the investor.Can or will anyone comment on their experience with RTO fulfillment rates?

Also, as Brian notes, the tax is pretty low. 

and looking to get HVAC done as well but starting to run low on funds.  

-you’ve got a low payment locked in long term-you’ve got room to raise rents and increase income.
