Im in Jacksonville fl and really want to know if its easier here

Typically it would be an attractive offer (usually over retail) with low or no interest owner financing over 10-20 yearsI'm in the beginning marketing stage and I just had 1000 postcards go out targeting high equity and free and clear owners in Boston (specifically Allston, Brighton, Cambridge and Somerville).

If the two other tenants are agreeable to signing a new lease then that could make the paperwork much easier.

Throw on top of that your involvement in the tenant selection process or actively engaged in rehabs by purchasing fixers that you make ready to rent.It is not necessary to manage your own properties, but it makes it easier especially when you only have 1 or 2 properties.Bottom line is it is a judgment call what level of activity constitutes "regularly involved."

In actuality, neither process is specifically easier than the other.

It will benefit the community to make it easier to rent the units because it will make it easier for landlords to pay their dues.

Usually one or two phone calls is enough.If you don't have those contacts yet there are much easier, more professional, and legal ways to find your local cash buyers.

The trouble with today's appraisal rules is you have no idea who you are going to get, you can't pay more to get an experienced one, and there is no way to predict whether they are going to be bad in your favor or the buyer's.As was previously mentioned, you should be targeting a cash buyer with this type of purchase.I think the best we've done on a deal like this was a $64K purchase that was resold in 2 weeks for $93K.

Once that is over things start getting better & easier as you go along.

Plus, a bunch of CDs and stocks is easier to understand and oversee for them.
