Even including a 5% vacancy (very conservative as turnover is pretty good) and all other costs, I can shave down cash flow by $150 and still see good enough returns.

If a buyers inspector shows something on the report, chances are likely they will try to shave a fair chunk off the offer price.

When I look across our broad spectrum of tenants I see a slice of Americana from window tinters to cabinet shops, welders to ice cream makers, we have them all. 

I used to go into abandoned and foreclosed homes with my dad from 5 years old up and even though I didn't love it at the time, it was an adventure (and I always got an ice cream sundae after).

Does your P/S have a strong walkout clause that you are prepared to execute?

Should I refinance to a new 20 year and increase my P+I by $26 per month, and shave 8.5 years off my loan?

@Rodney CrawfordYou could always open the discussion with her about this and see if she’d shave off some points...if the buyer is coming unrepresented I’m sure the realtor would have no problem shaving off some commission since she doesn’t have to split it with another agent.I’d just express your concerns to her and negotiate if you feel right

The borrower(s) may have initially purchased the property as one of the following:a natural person;an eligible inter vivos revocable trust, when the borrower is both the individual establishing the trust and the beneficiary of the trust;an eligible land trust when the borrower is the beneficiary of the land trust; oran LLC or partnership in which the borrower(s) have an individual or joint ownership of 100%.The original purchase transaction is documented by a settlement statement, which confirms that no mortgage financing was used to obtain the subject property.

I would get connected to the CREAM group on Facebook, you'll find a lot of good connections there.

People want new clothes, people want ice cream from time to time.
