I have not found one opportunity yet that gives me an ARV of 75%.Any professional investor will tell you that if you go over that the amount of work that you have to put doesn't worth the return.My latest was found in the MLS where we got a better deal than what I was getting from wholesalers.Let me clarify that the wholesaler business is needed, but it seems at the lack of deals they are putting the pressure to then investors. 

Don't bank the deal on getting cash back in a refinance.3.

Again because of the same reason.The real problem is that more (social/medium priced) housing is needed which the local government hasn't been investing in for the last 1/2 governing period.

Sorry you had to deal with that. 

I wanted to find a property to improve that had a good foundation and structure, but needed a lot of cosmetic work.How did you find this deal and how did you negotiate it?

I’m doing my research/analyzing deals, but wanted to see if anyone would be willing to share their experiences:1.

How did you find this deal and how did you negotiate it?

What made you interested in investing in this type of deal?

I’d rather get more applicants and choose better quality than deal with higher risk.

At the moment my focus is to establish myself as an agent and help investors with the deals.I'm located in Belltown Seattle, serving surrounding areas and beyond where the deals are cheaper.As of current focus in investing, I'm looking for a property in Savannah, GA for AirBnB.What is your current need and how can I help you?
