See #2What you are trying to do is basically avoiding any of your own skin in the game.  

Good Morning All,I'm taking a shot in the dark with this one to see what happens.  

The lender on the appraisal has a current tenant occupied value and a dark value if the tenant doesn't pick up the option 7 years from now.

I was thinking possibly 40-50k, but that's really kind of a shot in the dark.

Yes there are people who are paying too much for properties that will fix them up and flip them at a potential loss, but unless there is 100% financing then they will lose their skin in the game and the lender/investor will still make it out of the transaction.

It has helped to buy rentals that suit the newly-formed family E-5 or 6 and up tier, or likewise policeman, teacher, etc. rather than the Col or Gen type of house.

Use different fonts, envelope sizes, colors, ect.

Include pictures of the color code tags for all the paint you use in the apartment that belongs to that lease.  

A little cash can go a long way with this strategy...takes some time to learn, but once you crack the code, you shouldn't have any issues acquiring new properties.Contact for deed and lease options are the other alternative...and private money...but you still will need skin in the game.

Hi,My husband @Kevin Kovalsky and I have recently purchased a few multi-families and as tenants move out we are updating the units in a somewhat standard way (i.e. same paint color, same floors).
