But, ultimately, it could work if you don't mind a low ROI.It could make sense if you look at a lifestyle rather than an investment purchase and you're just happy to cover your costs.

There is much confusion about the 4% and 6% in property taxes.Non owner occupied property is taxed at 6% of the value to get the taxable value.This does NOT mean your actual property tax is 6% of the purchase price for rental property,In reality property taxes are about 2% of the purchase price for rental properties and about 1% of the purchase price for owner occupied properties.Google Greenville County Property Tax estimator and play with it and get a sense of how it works.3.

I am currently negotiating on a 12 unit deal and am struggling to make the numbers make sense.

Seller financing may make sense for some sellers but probably not those looking to scale their portfolio. 

And then we negotiate with the owners on the "owner financing" options that they would give to us (if they are even open to it).If someone needs "private financing" or "alternative" financing...we can still make our normal realtor commission here and then they can show for any property.I hope some of what I am saying makes sense. 

That makes sense.

Getting solar without having battery backup does just not make sense.
