I have never purchased anything 'perfect' but all of my rentals could have been rented as they were upon purchasing them. 

@Kris Lou Be careful with agents as 95%+ of them really only know how to handle owner-occupied transactions.We don't do biz in Indianapolis, so this is unbiased info we hope you find useful:Recommend you first figure out the property Class you want to invest in, THEN figure out the corresponding location to invest in.Property Class will typically dictate the Class of tenant you get, which greatly IMPACTS rental income stability and property maintenance/damage by tenants.If you apply Class A assumptions to a Class B or C purchase, your expectations won’t be met and it may be a financial disaster.If you buy/renovate a property in Class D area to Class A standards, what quality of tenant will you get?

For that amount, you might as well have purchased an extra smaller house.

The first purchases are likely going to be California, Montana, and Texas.

Also, you are not going to be able to purchase a property subject to if you are dealing with a realtor. 

Purchase price: $275,000 Cash invested: $275,000About this homeBeautiful 2 bedrooms 1 bathroom condo in the convenient location of Rowland Heights, close to bus stop, supermarket, schools, shopping centers etc. newer counter top in kitchen and bathroom. 2 parking spaces and storage room.

@Ming Huang Based on the numbers you've shared, I would advise against the deal, unless you can negotiate the purchase price down and/or rent it for at least $1,150.

Hence, to reiterate the reason for adequate research before purchasing a property. 

If they seem agreeable, then you can ask if they would prefer to cut the cost down the middle or would they prefer to purchase the supplies and you will assume the cost of labor to install it.
