$950 Rental, $110k Price, 9/10 Rate School District - YES / NO?
Guys, would love to get your feedback. Here is the deal:
- $950 Rental value
- $100k Cash Close
- 9/10 Rated Schools
- Low Crime
- New home (5 - 10 years old)
Would you buy it? Yes, ROI will be lower than if i buy a $40k property but these $110k property will be banks best friend from re-finance point of view.
Thank you

It's an OK buy but only if you can refinance for the maximum amount and still see positive cash flow. Do your calculations based on 40% expenses and a hypothetical 100% financing situation. If that still shows positive cash flow then it may be a potential investment.
There is no way it is a good investment if you have very much dead equity sitting in the property. Confirm refinancing before you go ahead.
