This deal does not meet the 1% rule. At $995/side, that's $1990 per month, which means the MOST you should be paying for this property should be $199,000. Is there room to increase the rents? 

Disclosure: I am a REALTOR. However, when looking for an agent, I know my clients value communication, responsiveness, honesty and putting the their interests first, which is what I try to do each and every day.

Hi BP, Nat & Jocelyn here, we have been analyzing deals in our area for the last 2 months, looking mainly at multifamilies. We came across this little 2BR/1 BA ea average condition duplex in the downtown area built in 1964 with beautiful hardwood floors, just in need of a little TLC and updating (eventually). It is not in a high crime area. After talking to the listing agent, we were told that the housing is Section 8 with both units rented. We wanted to know if anyone could comment on whether or not this would be a good investment opportunity considering the Section 8. Asking price is $89,900 and using the Rental Calculator tool, it will cash flow $526 per month, please view the details in the report. 

We’re not familiar with how Section 8 works and welcome any feedback and look forward to the discussion. Thank you in advance! 

Hi BiggerPockets! My wife and I are local to Fayetteville, NC, and looking for a General Contractor interested in doing work for a BRRR and/or flips in the future. If anyone can provide recommendations in the local area, we would really appreciate it! Thank you!
