Hi @Aaron Henes,We can put you in touch with a number of our investors who have purchased these "low down" properties. 

I believe you're right too - someone from VRBO reached out to schedule a call not too long ago, but I haven't been successful with getting that set up.

I have been a small RE investor for the last 5 years or so, and I finally have come by my first rough ride with a tenant who I inherited with the purchase of my last triplex in Sellersville, PA.

If there is a problem that you think I can help solve, feel free to reach out.

My suggestion to all housing providers is to make sure you do not include utilities with rent on the lease, reach out to your local apartment association for education, and be mindful of the laws in your ordinance. 

These can sometimes offer better prices than big box retailers, especially for bulk purchases.- Wholesale distributors: If you're doing multiple projects, consider establishing relationships with wholesale distributors for better pricing on bulk orders.- Closeout and overstock stores: Places like Floor & Decor or local overstock outlets can have great deals on flooring and other materials.When choosing between Home Depot and Lowe's, keep in mind that both offer price matching, with Home Depot often providing an additional 10% off.

Looking at purchase a first home but the issue is the homes we’d like to invest into in our area are far too expensive.

My husband and I purchased a 2 family house that was fully occupied with tenants, intending to live in the first floor.

.$5mm PP = $250,000 acquisition fee, let's assume they are raising $2,000,000 in equity for purchase and upgrades, this means acq fee is really 12.5% of equity.Loan Guarantor Fee: $5mm purchase, let's assume $3.5mm loan.  

I used to pay a site visit to every property of which we were considering lending or purchasing an existing note.
