We recently sold our one rental, but we are looking for our next deal/project in the area.

The ATR does not have to be the same on every deal.

Another effective strategy I use is a "Book 2 midweek nights, get the 3rd free" deal.

Living With Tenants Can Be ChallengingSharing your property with tenants sounds great—until you’re dealing with late-night noise, maintenance issues, or awkward run-ins in shared spaces.

Hi Evan from Sayville, NY-You asked about whether a lender would pay real estate commissions and closing costs with a short sale.I negotiated a lot of short sales after the Great Financial Crisis.Short sales are similar to dealing with a bank owned property accept the bank is trying to avoid taking it back so the terms, specifically an acceptable purchase price, have to be negotiated.The thing I found that was important to negotiate was the lender agreeing to settle without further recourse for the seller.

Some will deal with owners directly and other have tenant rep brokers they might direct you to FIRST to scrub the site and see if it is a possible match.

Sub 2 people must have this problem too - how do you deal with it?

The deal fell into my lap.

Every deal has a challenge—whether it’s a seller with an unclear title, a property with zoning issues, or just finding the right buyer who actually sees the value.I’ve been navigating all of this while working on land and mobile home deals, and honestly, the problem-solving side of it is what keeps me hooked.

It takes a long time to find an off market deal.
