Chris Seveney Buy and hold out of state

For instance buying a 50k rental in the mid west may be small change to some so they say what the heck I don't need to see it I will shop just like I shop at Amazon and buy it basically on line.Others will spend much time and money checking it out.. flying there and making certain its for them.I do think one way to dial for dollars is to contact those that bundle it up for you IE turn key type companies.. and I think a lot of time can be saved by talking with a few reputable PM's in a given market.. they will for sure be able to tell you were the management intense areas are.. and one's that are easier for them to manage. ( Ie code for quality of tenant)

Jamie Derasmo Buy a house with a bad septic? Can't be replaced until Spring '22
13 October 2021 | 4 replies
That may be heresy in today's market but I still stick by it.Trying to think of other ideas, I'm not sure if this is an on-market property or not, but especially if it's not, there could be the possibility of paying the seller for an option to buy the property at a certain price within the next year, and letting the seller continue owning it through the winter, then you exercise your option and purchase it in the spring once the ground has thawed out.That's a much easier concept to pitch to the owner if they don't have a real estate agent who's basically just motivated to sell it and get their commission ASAP, but if they've had a few deals fall through because of the failed septic then even if there's an agent, maybe they'd be open to it.Alternatively, and maybe simpler than an option, would be just putting down a decent-sized earnest money deposit and having a closing date in the spring - basically an unusually long period for the closing.
