The good news is that there are plenty of investors who would be interested in the property as-is and even more investors interested if:- The property is in an area they are familiar with- The property is in a desirable area- You are deep into the eviction process (it seems as though you are)- You can deliver 1 unit/floor vacant (this could happen before closing)That said, if you can keep it, I'd say do it.

that we’ve learned in our 24 years, managing almost 700 doors across the Metro Detroit area, including almost 100 S8 leases:Class A Properties:Cashflow vs Appreciation: Typically, 3-5 years for positive cashflow, but you get highest relative rent & value appreciation.Vacancy Est: Historically 10%, 5% the more recent norm.Tenant Pool: Majority will have FICO scores of 680+ (roughly 5% probability of default), zero evictions in last 7 years.Class B Properties:Cashflow vs Appreciation: Typically, decent amount of relative rent & value appreciation.Vacancy Est: Historically 10%, 5% should be applied only if proper research done to support.Tenant Pool: Majority will have FICO scores of 620-680 (around 10% probability of default), some blemishes, but should have no evictions in last 5 yearsClass C Properties:Cashflow vs Appreciation: Typically, high cashflow and at the lower end of relative rent & value appreciation.

If you feel the need to explain why you hit the "reject" button, you could add to any of those: We are closing this leasing process by rejecting all remaining applications in the queue. 

What I'm aiming for are turnkey rentals and trying to max out the amount of conventional, lower interest loans. again, the DTI income ratio will be IMPROVED if the property shows cash flow.

This is significantly lower than the mid west in the US.A really nice thing over there is that rents are often payed once per year.Dubai have a very consentrated power and decision organ which leads to very low predictability.

I has two GREAT property managers that immediately come to mind, one handling 5 high end high rise condos I owned in Phoenix and the other one handling a 12 unit very lower end apartment building I owned in Arlington, Texas.  

Our lot is fenced in and we cannot see where he lives but close enough to be of concern, but we want to stay in the same town until the kids are finished school.So, my question is this, would it make sense to rent our home (roughly $2300-2500/mo. as per real-estate agent claims), with the stipulation that the garage is used for my business AND buy a home nearby?

Could the prices be lower than the MLS?

That is lower than market and puts you in a cashflow-neutral situation, but it is unlikely your residents can afford that.

We have 60 rentals12 air bb units, Ohio  and Fla. 15-20  flips and wholesales, between buy and sell close at any point.
