Find a reliable property manager that you can trust to properly screen your tenants and show your property.

Perhaps a revocable trust / SMLLC holding structure would work best.

@Sierra Swords If you have someone you can trust that is willing to occupy, there are some lenders that will let you qualify for OwnOcc financing as long as at least one of the borrowers is in the home.

If they're overpriced, show them recent comparable sales and ask them how they would feel if they kept their home at its current pricepoint and it sat for another X months.You want to establish trust and you'll do that by being transparent and honest about the TRUE value of their home.Best of luck to you moving forward!

Be patient and trust your relationship over just chasing the deal that shows the highest IRR!

Should TRUST owned MFs be excluded from direct mail criteria ?

Looking for confirmation here so I don't blindly trust.

The moment you apply for a mortgage, that fact is sold by our trusted credit reporting agencies (TransUnion, Equifax, and Experian) to the entire world, so they can start spamming you with junk (one of our lobbying groups, AIME, is trying to make it illegal unless you explicitly give consent to TU, EF, and EP).

I am probably too trusting - but I am confident the above mantra has helped us - more than hurt us. 

As stated above, flipping is best done in your local area which you know and can have boots on the ground unless you can build a full and trusted team elsewhere which would require a partner with boots on the ground.
