After working with a lot of lenders over the years, the most important thing for me is their level of customer service (will they provide a lender letter promptly for you when you need to write an offer quickly, call the listing agent to help you get your offer accepted, pick up their phone for you, etc.) and do they close on time?

I have the skill set and experience so it makes sense to meHas anyone done this/can anyone offer advice about how to get started?

Thanks There a some lenders that offer require minimal or no season for the Memphis market.   

How much do you usually make an offer below the listed price?

I have an owner who is open to seller financing and need some advice on how to structure the offer.

If anyone has first hand experience and an example of how to use this deduction, that would be really helpful.In the realm of real estate investments, the short-term rental loophole offers a unique opportunity, subject, however, to certain rules and regulations.

And the same with offering a higher price...a realtor has to run the "comps" to see if a higher price is supported by that specific property.   

If you are to make an offer to purchase the property the seller in this case has the option to honor your offer to purchase and not lease the property while your loan to purchase the property is in process.

OR (possibly in your case) there's just no market for what you're offering where you are offering it. 2.

Houses are pretty cheap and can offer good cash flow.
