Hey Crystal Wilson I know the property you're talking about (a client of mine had it under contract briefly before getting cold feet). It's in decent shape, the neighborhood is just rough, as you would expect with a property that price. I think rents are probably more like $800-900, and likely closer to the lower end of that. Running the numbers on it, I think it's about a 10.6% cap rate on a cash purchase. On a side note, we had it u/c at $77K with a cash deal, so you know the seller will move a little on a cash deal...but probably not on a financed offer
