I'm going to start out with first position mortgage foreclosures (probably not the best idea to jump into a second position or HOA foreclosure until I fully understand the process), but even with the first position foreclosures, some of these deals seem too good to be true.

The clients that I get very concerned about are the ones that are telling me how to do my job.Overtime, they become the most expensive in your business because they take an emotional toll as well as more actual time.These people are almost never satisfied and are quick to jump the gun on everything.

For this example we will use 70% For this formula you will need to know the following:ARV=After Repair Value ( How much will the house will sell for after making all the repairs needed)Repair Estimate - (Send me a message and I can send you a list I got from my mentorship class for ball park estimates based on square footage and depending if you need cosmetic repairs, avarage repairs or Extreme repairs)Your Assigment FeeARVx.70 - Repairs - Your Assignment FEE = Max OfferExample$200,000 x .70 = $140,000 - $30,000 (repairs) - $10,000 (your profit) = $100,000 (offer)Your potential profit is $10,000 I hope this formula helps you make offers that will make sense for all involved in the transaction.Happy Wholesaling,Lily Rodriguez - Investor friendly Broker

I don't even know if a Japanese resident can get a mortgage on a commercial property that's not based on his/her personal income as the value of the asset is at a high risk of depreciation and the LTV would increase over time and go over 100%.

This perspective is quite common in the MF sector, especially where sales comparisons are largely based on the asset's condition and financial performance (NOI which leads to a cap rate).When comparing two properties with similar capital expenditure needs, the industry standard is to evaluate them based on a cap rate.
