Hello BP family, I am looking to make an offer on the following property:Condominium 2 bedrooms2 bath1,204 sq ft patio with storage, near pool, wood floors, washer/dryer, fridge includedseller wants $1,850 per month and wants to sell for $335,000I checked the comps using Zillow and it looks like a comparable unit that is a 2/2 that has all upgrades and is asking 313k, the owner said this unit just sold for 310kall the upgrades: dark wood floors throughout, granite counters, stainless steel appliances, recessed lighting, pedestal lighting, upgraded trim, counter back splash, new cabinets and fixtures, floating shelves and a new HVAC unit.Whereas the unit I want to make an offer on has none of these things, but does have a larger square footage (1,204 sf compared to 952 sf).

In my past life I was a public safety officer (combined police and fire) for a city department in California. 

What if you did a combination?

In some areas the showing apps are used a lot, in other places you just may get a combination code to the lockbox or a special card that is part of your membership to  NAR (the national association of realtors).

We have considerable working income for our age (170k a yr combined so far) so we figure in 5 years we should be able to complete this 3 times over while still being able to cover expenses god forbid there is a lapse in rent.  

Could you tell me about the washer and dryer enclosure .  

Since I'm very picky about deals I'll even fiddle with, I eliminate every lead that is over 50% CLTV (combined loan-to-value of all loans and liens) AS-IS value now. 

Is there any way we can structure this deal using a combination of sub2 and seller financing?

I only hope that you give me a chance to combine with you on construction or real estate.  

should we find the investors first, get their property criteria, and then look for the property that fits that criteria, or do our own evaluations and then find investors that like our selections, or a combination of both?.....
