I target C- to B- areas, and look for the Diamond in the rough, an opportunity that I can force equity via rehabbing, then lift and improve the rents in areas near to Down Town on cities that are growing.Buy small at first, i.e.

There's no way to force them to keep it unless you are prepared to evict them as part of your lease, so my experience is that you suggest it to them as good practice and keep a good insurance policy on your places yourself. 

Don't get hung up trying to force a deal and it appears you are not making that mistake. 

We are mainly isolating our searches to the following criteria for Holds and Flips...For Holds, we are looking to begin with a few properties that tick the following boxes:Able to purchase below market valueHave potential for Forced AppreciationAble to increase rentAble to recycle the deposit into the next purchaseCashflow positive (pre-tax)Weekly rent is approx. double the (buy price divided by 10); eg, $300/wk : $150,000 costFor Flips, we are looking for properties that will provide us with the following:Able to purchase below market valueHave potential for Forced AppreciationGrowth areas (5% or more)

Fun fact: I'm one of the few servicemen to directly support both Air Force One and Marine One as a U.S.

As others have mentioned there are ways to get properties with only 5%/10% down, however in my opinion this strategy is the most useful for a pure buy&hold play.If you're looking to BRRRR then putting 5% down isn't optimal, because you'll be hit with CMHC fees right off the bat, and you'll have to increase your equity in the property past 20% anyways before you can touch any of the appreciation you forced through renovations.

I'd prefer to use LVP but it's too expensive in my market for C+ or B- units.

hi my name is Kris Gomez, my wife and I have a few rental properties and have recently joined forces with a partner and started and REI company called KMD property solutions.

Most sellers are wanting 6-7 caps for C value adds.

I am not the OP.But I have been a beginner once.I was always honest and never ever planned to trick anyone.I, like him, also was concerned about this.So let's rephrase that exact same question:"What if I am honestly trying to buy the property but something happened that really forces me to back out.
