We have great, low maintenance tenants, who we believe would likely sign for another year, if we don't decide to sell the property.  

Seems like a good low money down strategy that i may be able to take advantage of.Thanks for you reply and your time.Tom

In general, I'd just posit that "deal source" should not be conflated with "deal quality".

You will want to do some research here and make sure that you are comfortable with the (albeit very low) risk of triggering the DOS clause that is in most mortgages. 

There's a high demand for a low inventory of single family fixers.  

Having said that, being that busy means higher commissioned sales are probably higher priority and submitting ridiculous low ball offers could be a negative on them considering experience.

Of course there's the rare unicorn mentioned above.Investing with low and no money down doesn't mean you can't have any money..

Without quality people I'd still be managing a hundred houses by myself instead of 1250 units with my sites on 2,000 and beyond!

Save for 7-8 months and get my 20% down of 10k on it and go to a bank which isn't my favorite option or maybe since I was reading on here that life insurance company's have a very low interest rate and like to invest in multi family buildings that would be another good option.
