You may want to see a selection, but it’s often more cost-effective to secure the first property that meets your requirements than take up more time to find the best.Step 5: Be prepared to act fast.

Tenant selection is the most important aspect of managing a rental.

I also noticed that if you select 30+ on your profile "Deals Complete" field that 30 will be displayed.

My answer is a solid NO.Because not all agents "cheat", and for those who "cheat", they "cheat" selectively.

The "primary residence" selection read, in relevant part:"Borrower either currently occupies and uses the Property as Borrower's principal residence, or Borrower will occupy and use the Property as Borrower's principal residence..."

When you are the client, you can ask all the questions you want regarding how the analysis was performed, comp selection, etc.

For your first question, it is irrelevant if another home has been flipped in that area (although I would look at that as one of my exit value comps).The most important factors in selecting a flip property are getting the uglier house on the nicest street, knowing your inventory levels (low inventory levels equals less competition and thus, usually better offers for you) and selecting a conforming property that has recent comps to support your exit value.

I am selectively buying class a high rise condos for cash at discounts of 30-35% of what similar financable condos sell for.

My Situation:I have material capital gains and want to defer them by creating an Opportunity Zone Fund.I have to establish the business structure now and it will have to be sufficient for a long time (10+ yrs) including investments in multiple states yet selected (1st property doesn’t need to be purchased for 31months after setup the LLC or Corp).

I guess I could have an owner finance Yes,No,Possible boxes and select one.I can see more with duplex's,tri's,and quads doing more owner finance etc.In the bigger complexes you have professional buyers that can bring a bunch of cash to the table and give guarantees etc.I guess the short answer is I have to vet the buyer before bringing a scenario like that in front of a seller.If I don't the seller will look at you like you wasted their time and you have just lost all credibility.I do agree that numbers put out there are rosy sometimes but that is the sellers doing.They often massage the numbers some without the broker knowing hoping to get a newbie or less experienced who will pay top dollar and cash them out.You know sometimes that does happen so the seller wants to take the chance.They can always go down in price later on.
