I will crunch some more numbers.

Tomorrow I want to submit offers on both of them but after crunching some basic numbers, I'm concerned that my offer will be somewhat offensive to the agent.

Hello BP, I've been in debate (friendly, learning experience type debate) with my partners, and frankly despite all of our number crunching and caffeinated pipe dreams, the fact remains that neither I, nor any of my partners have enough real world experience to settle this...Here is the debate:The goal is to invest around 20k into multiple strategies involving buy and hold cash flowing properties.Yes, I said 20k.

When you find one, open it and look in the "detail" tab where you will find all the property details including taxes.Insurance, again this comes from crunching numbers over and over and over, calling an insurance agent, looking at properties etc.

Sounds obvious, but there are a lot of "deals" out there that once you crunch the numbers, they don't really make money. 2.

If there is a time crunch to sell your house, they will have the fastest means to get your deal done. 

I'm still open to what I may be looking for, and I am still waiting to sit down with my accountant and crunch some numbers around (waiting on corporate year-end to finish first), but I am leaning towards a duplex, triplex, or 4-plex.I've been looking at this one a lot: http://www.icx.ca/propertyDetails.aspx?

1.There is a trust involved.It was under my grandmother’s name with my stepdad and mom as trustee.Most deeds owned are in this trust with mortgages under either grandmother(Whom passed away about 10 years ago) or stepdad(whom passed away last year). ..but might also be commercial mortgages with them as personal guarantors.2.Before my stepdad passed away he paid cash for a complete reno but the deed to this property is in my mother’s name personally.3.She is bleeding cash without his income to try to fix this property up and do a couple major upgrades in some other properties (furnace, AC).4.Her intention is to fix part of this property up and have my youngest sister live rent free and rent out the other portion.The property is free and clear and she has invested quite a bit of money to try to get it in liveable condition but she is starting to get crunched and her credit score(roughly 650 now from 715) is coming down because of the credit she is using to try to complete the job.Are there renovation loans for this?

Once you crunch the numbers on market rents, instead of cash flowing a couple hundred a month could you possibly re-fi or find a HELOC to put 20-30% down on another property that you could also fix/rent or flip if the market supports it?

I walked away, because when you crunched all the numbers he was asking probably close to $30K above market value.....
