Would love some guidance on this!

Hello,I am new to this whole landlording world and am looking for an answer to an idea I had.

this is a strange (morbid) subject.

Would like to hear what are some key things to be aware of in this area when selling/buying properties? 

This same seller https://therealdeal.com/chicago/2024/05/08/first-chicago-sel... who tried to be greedy by offering $0 co-op for buyers agents.

I've found this pretty helpful as a starting point.

The biggest challenge I can see for this is that I hear it's a pain in the *** for the seller to go through a local community bank and confirm their income for their approval for a mortgage, and there are local/community banks that will approve 95-100% LTV loans based on how profitable the deal is.

Can someone guide me or direct me how can I buy a REO property ?

However, this will require sacrifice and having a duties of a landlord.

I understand Google continues to push into this space and disrupt the online travel agencies, so the landscape might be changing.
