Below market rents in the age of covid-19: NO SECURITY DEPOSIT
Hello,
I made an offer on a duplex: asking $67777. Offered $60K. They countered with 65K. I am ok with that. However, the tenant who is currently in the 3/1 is paying $600 and is on M2M. This could rent for $925/mo! There is also no security deposit per owner. Upstairs is 2/1 and is currently empty. Could rent for $775/mo. I would estimate (before inspection) cosmetic upgrades $10k. Should i proceed? How do you handle the long term month to month below market paying tenant? What about lack of security deposit?
THANK YOU!
