-Find a more expensive deal-Take out 20k more for repairs (Houses only sell for 55k max in that area) - Keep trying banks (Does anyone know of any that would finance?)

Here are a few for you:Pros- Online account access- Online payments- Prompt responses to e-mails and voicemails- Good criminal background and credit checks- Actually calling past landlords, employers, etc.Cons- Charging a credit card processing fee- Lack of advertising (e.g. only posting the rental on the company website)- Lack of communication during vacancies (e.g. not providing me with updates on repairs, tenants applications, etc.)- Only using in-house maintenance (e.g. if your one guy can't get to something for a couple weeks then hire a contractor)

Before thinking about making an offer, learn your market, learn to estimate renovation costs, learn after repair value.

I analyze the property, and estimate rehab costs (with inspectors and contractors), add a buffer for unexpected repairs, as well as an ROI comparison of setting the property up as a rental vs. selling the property.If I am ONLY presenting the deal to the investor, meaning I am NOT buying the property myself or setting up any type of assignment, just "connecting" the investor to the property and running the numbers.

Their responsibility is do the repairs IF it is their responsibility.....not cater to random whims/wishes if done supposed buyer.

I know that repairs etc. are suppose to be on the potential buyer, so there could be a downside there as I would loose some control over the property. 

I got into buy/repair/hold SFHs in 2007 and left my W2 job 9 years later and life is wonderful.

However, if you want to rent a house then call it what it is...Also, a tenant buyer with bad credit should be in a credit repair program...it only makes sense.If you only have 3 potential buyers it makes me curious how your marketing your houses?

I still own the first property I bought in 2007 and had to make many major repairs over the years.
