Springfield MA is a great market for rentals!

Broadly speaking, I would say network with developers in your market that are doing what you want to do.

The "half assed rent collectors" you alluded to - while I don't advocate for that approach, and it's not what we do - have figured out that there is a market for exactly what they are doing.The real question is, is there a market for what you're proposing?  

Or is a matter of how desperate the seller is to sell the property .... maybe it has been on the market for more than 60 days, or maybe it had a Contract fall through , and they are just ready to get it sold ?

You can determine a competitive offer price for a property, analyze market trends, property condition, income potential, and operating expenses.

However, with 25 years of experience in RE Syndications, there are several major red flags I look out for:High Cash Flow.Aggressive Marketing.Lack of 100% Transparency in PPM and Marketing Material.Whenever cash flows exceed market expectations, I question the sustainability of such returns.

If the new buyer defaults on payments or otherwise breaches the terms of the mortgage, it could impact your credit and financial situation.Market Demand: Consider the market demand and potential buyer pool for properties sold under subject-to arrangements.

In today's market, it can be hard for some people to tell what they should do with a specific property. 

I'm particularly passionate about real estate hot market area.Outside of real estate, I enjoy DIY hobby that can improve property value, as growing houseplants, painting, and storage organization.Excited to learn and connect with you all!

I’m looking at expanding into the market Quote from @Robert Khalev: @Emily BeattyHey!
