Hey Folks! An amazing real estate agent turned me on to a SFH not on the market yet. The owners are looking to get rid of the house due to family conflicts after the passing of the parents. First question... I would like the siblings to take the least path of resistance and sell the house at a discount so I can fix and flip. I'm offering to clean up all the garbage & miscellaneous items (it's a mess on the inside, broken car in garage & throw away furniture in every room), but was looking for gestures that would make it easier for her to let go of the property at a discount. Any advice?

Gotcha. That's a bit higher than rate + points than we're looking for in this deal to make sense on our end but I respect your position.

Hi @Alex Shea , thank you! $125k is the acquisition price, maybe 130k depending on closing costs.

@Jay Hinrichs Amazing! It's unreal right now.

I think if you're building in an appropriate margin of safety for your purchases then things will be fine. I also believe the impact of the corona-virus is being inflated by the media, but that's just my opinion.
Just booked flights to italy in june for .50 on the dollar due to cv fear!

We have 2 units managed by Vacasa in San Diego (Mission Beach). They purchased our previous PM. As @Tom Kastorff indicated, Vacasa attempts to make STR passive. I am fairly sure we are charged a lower percentage of rent than you quoted but they are very well compensated on our units as the units average ~$16k/month rent with near 100% occupancy.
We are fairly happy with Vacasa and not contemplating changing PMs. We make a lot of money on the STR units. I suspect I would be more concerned about the costs if the STRs were going to lose money.
Good luck
Good insight Dan. Sounds like Mission Bay has been a gem for you. Stoked for you all. Yeah, if with the expected PM fees, the STRs were slated to lose money, that's more concerning absolutely.
