Are you getting no applicants? 

Hi BP Community,I'm just getting started in real estate investing, and due to limited capital, I'm focusing on foreclosures and tax deed properties that need some rehab.

If you start changing your screening requirements based on your applicant's profile, you'll find yourself in hot water with fair housing really quickly. 

Fast Screening and Application ProcessesDelays in responding, showing, and evaluating applications can add weeks of vacancy• Online application software speeds up the review process• Clear screening policies (rental history, income, credit, background)• Quick, professional communication keeps prospects engagedAn approved tenant in days instead of weeks means more consistent cashflow.3.

You should be getting a Loan Estimate Disclosure where you can see the numbers 3 days after your application submission.

Even with a small amount of self-employment income, you can still open a Solo 401(k), make limited contributions, and roll over a traditional IRA if the plan allows it.

You will have a lot of interest and applications but they won't easily qualify.If you want to exist, the best solution is to find an investor that will accept seller financing.

They’re offering just a token increase to the deposit, and my realtor is encouraging me to give them more time since there weren’t multiple offers.My concerns:Contract has technically expired after extension.Deposit is small and currently stuck in escrow.Buyer hasn’t been transparent about their situation.I don’t want to lose more time off-market, but I also know the layout limits buyer pool.I could, in theory, always draft a retroactive extension if they really got their financing together later.Question for the community:If you were in my shoes, would you enforce the contract and re-list now, or grant one final, short extension but only with a substantial non-refundable deposit? 

We already have chosen an applicant and we are awaiting approval from the housing voucher program.  

Your property policy "should" help you when this happens, but likely has certain monetary limits in place.
