Help me learn - How to spot a BAD DEAL?
I'm trying to learn how to spot a BAD DEAL.
Property is a Tahoe Park duplex (2BR, 1BA, 1 Garage each unit) near 65th and broadway.
Even at 100k below the listing price, the monthly cash flow is merely 26 bucks! Can you give example of a GOOD DEAL? I want an example so I can see if there is such a thing still in the market.
