My credit is fair so not thinking I can get a traditional loan. 

I feel fairly confident that I can do all the paperwork without any problems, however because there are other members involved, I'm wondering if it's best to let the CPA do it.

Plan to rent the house for between $1200-$1300/month.Rehab Needed: The house is in fairly good condition overall (solid foundation; new high efficiency furnace; newer water heater; updated electric), but we are estimating $25k in repairs.

I know many of you are going to start out by saying that it depends on the numbers but lets say for the sake of conversation that the numbers look great and the asking price is fair.

I am fairly new to the area of Bridgeport as I just moved a few months ago from Guilford.

However, my challenges lie in how to appropriately assess the property value in order to make a fair offer?

I'm not sure how long from applying for the tax deed it actually takes for it to record so maybe there is some sense of it not being fair.

Give figures that you access to be fair for the area/market you are in.

If you're able to locate great deals on the MLS, put them under contract, then wholesale via a website or buyers list, it would be fairly easy.

Even with a 31% rent increase, we still have another 30% upside in rent to get it to fair market.
