Or get a tenant in there at market rates? 

Interested in flipping a home that would qualify based on HERS rating + energy savings and would like to partner with a lender to market the property as eligible for EEM.

Hi Ian,I might do that deal if I also felt that the rental amount was projected to go up (like in a high growth market) or if appreciation looked to be promising and I wanted to exit the investment in a short period of time but in general, by doing the deal with only a 6% profit, the margins are slim to make it worth it in the short term at least.~ Lindsey

That will help break down that market and give direct insight on deals there.

They also don’t like loaning into markets they are not familiar with. 

Generally that's going to mean buying something under market (per sf) because it needs some attention, fixing it up while you're in there, then moving on and doing it again.

I’m trying to stick to a market with properties less than 200k.

Are you looking to do private lending or buy notes on the secondary market?

No, this isn't a pitch for some of my friends who do lending. :-)  Assuming you have your basic underwriting skills honed, and you find yourself with no plan, or a primary plan that doesn't work, here is what I would do:1. 

It’s been on the market for 30 days at this point and I’m worried that I’m not going to find someone to rent to.
