I knew that I could probably cover these cost on a sub 185k home, but that still left closing cost and other unknown expenses to come.

I'm looking at a low cost of living area that's plagued with a housing shortage. 

It does take some time as you know everything is a numbers game in real estate.

I would really like to get started…just need to figure out my game plan! 

It costs 10k for them to complete one deal for you and to get your foot in the door.

So many new investors that live in high cost of living areas look to the midwest or other cheap areas to invest. 

But it's tougher for STRs now, so anyone wanting their piece of the pie needs to bring their A game. 

This is especially true if the property requires significant upkeep or if the heirs live far away.Owners of Distressed PropertiesSellers who own homes in poor condition and can't afford the necessary repairs may prefer to sell as-is rather than invest time and money into renovations.Landlords with Problematic TenantsLandlords who have been dealing with problematic tenants, frequent vacancies, or costly property damage might want to offload the property quickly to cut their losses and avoid further hassles.Owners Facing Major Life ChangesSignificant life changes, such as health issues, retirement, or downsizing, can motivate people to sell their property quickly.

When trying to do the deal analysis on my current property, it’s asking for the purchasing and closing costs.

If after the repairs were done, I would be asking my attorney if I can recover some of those costs.
