As a fellow NYer, I want to say Hi Shequann, and congrats.I'll take first crack at some of your questions (the ones I feel comfortable to lend an opinion on).

The only way that I could see a lender being comfortable with this scenario is if a borrower can show enough liquid cash to buy the property outright, but they are opting to use a loan to improve the return.

You could front as an "informational" collection or whatever you feel comfortable doing.

The only thing that pushes me out of my comfort zone thus far is permits/working with the city, and foundation problems.

you will be okayNext Tuesday - FYI -> I have to work, but you will do fine -~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ... breathe in and out .... visualize someone you feel comfortable talking in front of ..... feeling of urgency ( example - you most move the property too food yourself ) Regardless, put together all details of property on apiece of paper and leave it on local rei meeting table( your contact information will be important )address example - 2900 hundred block of South 91st -This way your information will definitely get out to other investorsI would say good luck, but you don't need it

Thanks for the response Sam...I understand that ultimately buying the property in any given location depends on how comfortable I am with it, I guess I didn't properly word my question which is, is there a higher response rate & marketing ROI for a certain price point?

I don't feel comfortable buying it at that price but my real estate agent says I shouldn't offer less than that price.

If you don't have a second quote, just throw out a number you would be comfortable with.

I had figured the vacancy rate on the higher end of estimates I've seen but didn't completely feel comfortable with the 10% estimate.Another concern I have is finding adequate property management at 10%.

This clearly is an area that I need to practice practice practice to get more comfortable with the numbers.What have others found to be helpful in their comfort in being confidant in their ARV calculation?
