The risk in selling was the area and low demand but having an international network access I knew I could help gather the best offers at the time.

In discussions with our realtor and a friend who owns a development company, their offer is extremely low. 

Would that be investing or more like gambling? 

Most people don't know what a public adjuster is even, and that's unfortunate, because we really provide a great service, ESPECIALLY for investors (landlords in particular) who have properties with tenants who cause damage, whether the damage was on purpose or on accident.I don't think I'm aloud to go into details of what we fully offer on here since we aren't in the marketplace, ha.

This may be due to a misunderstanding of existing options.FHA loans: Require a 3.5% down payment for investment properties with multiple units, but you must live in one unit.VA loans: Offer 0% down for veterans, but again, occupancy in one unit is mandatory.While some private lenders might offer lower down payments around 15-20%, they typically come with stricter requirements and higher interest rates.

I'm in search of an option that is not only cost-effective but also offers detailed sub-market intelligence.

When we offered to buy all units, the seller happily considered financing because he had hoped originally hoped to keep two for 5 years so he could make some money over 5 years.

Many of my consulting clients complain that they get no hits and when they do get interest, the offers are far below the rate (like 50%).

News and World Report, so when time comes to offer on a house, you need everyone on your team communicating. 

Either way, if you offer a good product at market rate you should be successful.
