Reading, learning, and contributing to the forums.The podcasts are great but I usually skip the episodes that don't apply to my market, or when guests get start talking about overly leveraged deals. 

Seems like a good appreciation market, but maybe more suited to LTR or MTR. 

How are you all navigating this market and finding rental properties that cash flow on a monthly basis?

Is this market accessible for the average investor in the UK, or is it exclusively banks and hedge funds who buy/sell these sorts of instruments?

The land would be on the outskirts of an appreciation market such as SLC, where I live.

The value at 9 cap is $3.2M and the value of proforma is $3.8M.They are asking $2.9M and it has been on the market for over a year.Do you have any creative suggestions that would work to aquire this property?   

I am now in a hurry to get all my marketing plans/tenant screening info up and ready so we can get tenants in ASAP.

Those are awesome numbers in this market!!

With that comes knowledge of the law, experience, skilled screening and selection, established policies and procedures that prevent problems or nip them in the bud, professional marketing, and so much more.

This should eliminate the homeowner (1) selling a property while remaining liable for the note (subject to), (2) tying  up his property with a “buyer” who has no intent to close unless he finds someone to pay a higher price (wholesaler), (3) paying above market rental for an option to buy that can never be exercised (4) purchasing a property from a fix n flipper who did shoddy rehab, (5) purchasing a property with nebulous legal title, (6) contracting for home improvement with a fly by night contractor who then puts a mechanics lien on the property and (7) “listing” with a wholesaler disguised as a Realtor who doesn’t put the home on MLS.
