Because I'm not American, I have been unable to find banks that are willing to offer me a mortgage loan.I have a creditscore of around 700 and my partner (not married) is American and has a credit score close to 900.

The "Spread": Or is the reality simply that I need to offer way less (e.g., $170k) so the deal works post-uncapping?

Hello,  With the market being slow and our flip not selling I'm going to list it for rent.... however, I'd like to have someone who is ultimately interested in owning it and want to offer a lease option to buy, after one year.   

It really seems like you have a lot of value to offer a seasoned flipper in your area..

Happy to offer perspective.  

I know the local area like the back of my hand, but I'm looking to deepen my knowledge on the deal-analysis side to build a serious portfolio.My goal is simple: I want to learn from the seasoned pros here, and in exchange, I’m happy to offer my boots-on-the-ground market knowledge to anyone looking at the West Georgia area.On a personal note—when I’m not talking real estate, you’ll usually find me training for a Spartan Race, hiking, or playing Fortnite with my daughter.Are there any other investors active in the Douglasville / Carrollton area?

These areas have good rental demand and tend to offer more flexibility for creative house hacking setups.There are FHA lenders here who work well with first-time buyers and can help you factor in potential rental income.

, we used to offer free trail but that didn't really work out because many wholesalers would take the free leads , close deals and then not pay 

There are some paid platforms that claim to offer off-market deals, but honestly, I haven’t been able to confirm whether any of them truly work.I’m personally looking at multifamily opportunities in OH, MI, and FL—not as many doors as you’re targeting, but something solid to get started.Are you planning to rehab or are you leaning more toward turnkey?

I might be able to offer some on the ground insights to both Boston (primary work as a realtor) and Worcester (where I invest in long term buy and hold)
