@Michael R To be fair Michael, University City and Philly in general is a very block to block case in terms of crime.

Hi @Charline R. have you approached BBVA Compass? 

What methods have you tried to find buyers?

Rent  $1400/month covers these items (as in your tenant)P&I Payment $500.00 Repairs Needed $0.00Taxes $118.92Insurance $208.33Management $182.00TOTAL ~ $1010/month x 5 = $5050Reserves to set aside (emergency - covers 5 months) $5098.33 Expenses Headache Factor=0% CAPEX  $70.00 General Maintenance  $83.33 Utilities 0 0 HOA Fees 0 0 Flood Insurance 0 0 Vacancy  $112.00TOTAL ~ $265/month of useless compensation (using this method) ~ $3200/year Seriously, if you have vacancy due to a repair issue (like a roof problem).  

What are your best methods that works for you?

Welcome to BP...be sure to catch the live webinars They r epic

The only concern I have with this method is not being able to get regular mortgages in my name after I get too many.

(I know the price and time are huge variables, just wanting a ballpark from some of you that may do these)-What other creative instruments or methods can one use to make this deal happen?

Hi guys have a couple of qns abt wholesalersHeard there r investors acquiring hses from wholesalers for buy and hold but the problem is most wholesalers have hses with no clear title and purchasing them is taking over the liens Are there ways to acquiring from them and have clear title?

I am thinking the BRRRR method for buy and hold properties outlined by @Brandon Turner makes the most sense for us.
