Deal Only Works All-Cash

Jon Fletcher
Posted

I've looked at two deals recently where the price seems fair on the surface. But the current rents are so low, that the deal only works as an all-cash purchase. Taking out a conventional 25-year mortgage, at 75% LTV, assuming 6% interest, results in a negative cash flow!

Have other investors run into this? What are your thoughts? My gut reaction is to walk away, but I'm getting FOMO that I may be missing the bigger picture. I intend to hold my properties for the long-term.
