If you can come to the city to visit that helps but often, as a majority of properties are "curb offers only", buyers will come out for inspections after the offer is made and then go home and complete the rest of deal form there.

Now just to build my buyer list!

I've read material through various resources that buyer pays closing costs as long as it's put in the agreement. 

Interest rates are going to rise more than current buyers can deal with = more renters coming soon.,,,, buy buy buy

Usually those deals are for folks who have been with them for several years and are proven investors.My guess is, if you're going to be a "cash" buyer, is you'll need to have funds in hand, ready to settle. 

Income limit is $131,775, buyer must put at least $1k of their own funds down, and these only allow primary residences (but do not need to be a 1st-time buyer). 

Transactions take time to go from listing/buyer agreement to closing. 6 months may seem like a long time but if you're educating yourself on the business while working on lead generation/conversion you'll be in better shape than most people starting off.Another tip would be to consider joining a team.

It will make the pool of buyers smaller and thus the price will drop.  

Asking for a copy of their "schedule E" is a pretty common thing for a buyer to ask.

They have resources at their fingertips to work with all sides: the buyer, the seller, the funding.  2.
