We offered asking price + a seller credit for our closing costs and won out over a cash buyer who wasn't willing to come up to the seller's asking price (luck - we got lucky).

On the 19th now the credit bureaus didn't all show up and we were forced to push it back another day because the scores didn't show until after my original  closing time.

It feels as if the shift to more of an apartment home is what helps with tenant retention.Having amenities on property, such as dog parks and fitness centers, help with retention, and being close to amenities also helps.I think the same can be said for most smaller multifamily, with having washer dryer hook ups, 2 to 3 beds, at east 1 1/2 baths, if you have some privacy for a yard would be a huge bonus.I really would stay away from pools for small multi families.

Depending on your filing status, capital gains tax rate goes up to 20% from 15%.

I've also seen lots of travel nurse interest in the Springfield area, and some of the nurses I've hosted on the MTR side end up selecting next locations out that direction.

I ended up going with Chicago Title out of Orland Park, hoping to close this week! 

If someone is experienced, we'll usually go up to 85% (maybe more) of the purchase price and up to 100% of the rehab cost, but we're going to limit it to 70%-75% of the ARV (As Repaired Value) for flips.

Keep it up and follow your passion!

Hello Jesse,So did you end up working with renttoretire?

However, in this case it’s worth circling back in 3 months, 6 months, or a year because this seller wants to sell, he’s just not ready to give up his fantasy deal.If the seller’s response is acceptance of the outline of my offer but countering on price or terms, it may be worth negotiating because we MAY be able to get to YES.My biggest profits have occurred when I made offers that were nowhere near what the seller was asking and yet WERE ACCEPTED, or with small modifications.
