Most buyer agents will bargain for repairs or reducing the purchase price / seller credits after defects are found.

I had a knack for finding the deals,  Had credit ratings and relationships with the financial institutions.

please please please do not invest in cosmetics until you build your war chest. i own multiple fouplexes and need at least 15k reserves for apartment turns or other repairs ac heating plumbing repairs. if you haven't closed ask for credits in consideration other 2 units are not renovated.Good luck Cortes family 

@Dawn Brenengen ok thank you for the tip.

My version of cash for keys is, "If you are out by xx day and the unit is left clean, I will drop the eviction suit and will not sue you in small claims court or report you to the credit agencies."

I have been using Rentprep for credit and background checks but am considering using Cozy or TenantCloud as it seems more and more applicants prefer to apply online for convenience.

I'm hoping someone can shed some light on this idea.I always get new mail or advertisements on credit cards that offer up to 12-18 months with no interest payments.

Hello Everyone, i've been looking at doing some flips next year and i hope i could get some tips to the strategy i want to work with.I have been searching and networking with some contractors, after some conversation and also vetting them out with projects i have trickled them down to 3 who i believe are reliable.My plan is to buy a foreclosed house, fund the purchase and materials to bring the house to a livable condition.

I’ve been looking for single family and duplexes in my area of southeast Wisconsin and have been looking into foreclosed homes and just wanted to see if anyone had any tips or advice for a new Investor looking into foreclosures!

I feel like I perhaps need to loosen up my criteria and just get my feet wet.I would like to hear from flippers out there on any tips or advice.
