I have leads on several properties that I think buy and hold investors would be interested in but I'm reluctant to make an offer without knowing whether it's a good deal and something this type of investor would be interested in.So what is it, exactly, that these types of investors in this area are looking for??

Im currently in the process of forming my business entity and I would like to begin networking with individuals who have used these types of funds for projects as well as assist me in obtaining them for myself.

What is the best way to go about finding those types of deals?

Its typically foreclosure that gets the borrower to reply, so we send a couple save your house type letters, while starting foreclosure in parallel.

I am interested in all types of investing however My current focus is more toward tax sales.

For a 1978-1985 type home this is typically 3-5K, but some nicer homes year 2000+ may be closer to 10K.

@Ramona Beyer,I agree with @Dani Beit-Or reply, the numbers make this a good deal, but however you have other due diligence that comes into effect to see if you should buy it (Location, Vacancy, type of tenants, etc) if you like what you diligence finds, then buy it.Now for your second question, i think determines what your interest rates are for you HELOC, if you would get better rates with a mortgage go with the refinance, also if your able to put some equity in the property you might look into a BRRRR methodCheers,Anthony

This type of financing is expensive but for someone in your situation could work.

is it A,B,C type property?      

***Additionally, a mortgage broker that is able to take a tenant-buyer's option consideration that is paid to me (wholesale lease option deal), and either apply that consideration towards the TB's down payment when the exercise their right to purchase ORdiscount the price of the house.Typically the consideration goes through a third-party escrow account (my attorney's), and that helps with the above.Typically mortgage brokers who understand this type of situation will only submit financing applications to banks they have great relationships and won't have an issue with this type of thing.Thanks in advance!!
