Pop Growth: 7% since 2000

Median Household income of $38,000

5% down is based on current savings while keeping a good amount in reserves, I could go 10% with a partner if the forum thinks 5% is impossible. 8% management fee based on a local management company posted pricing. I plan to use Cozy to self manage and will switch if I feel that I can't handle it.

The property has been on the market for 49 days and was originally purchased in August of 2018 for $100,000 which probably means it was a flip. Is a $30,000 discount unrealistic? I feel like the worst they can do is reject or counteroffer.

What do you all think, "yeah sounds legit" or "That's far from realistic"

Population growth ..median income is xxx .. and “the areas on the rise “ sound like a bunch speculation bro .

Look You basically have no cashflow . Frankly Your deal sucks . You should be getting atleast 600$ positive cashflow on a triplex each month ..or your wasting time dreaming about things in the future you can’t control for . You need to learn to analyze properties
