A multi-unit property was purchased for $140k. 

The family purchased a lakefront property in a nice area three years ago but then ran into a series of issues, and have abandoned the place because of them.They are hoping the bank allows a short sale (asking for roughly $20,000 under what is owed)Here's what's made them so unhappy:Anytime they used the laundry it was dumping into a dry well, which would back up into the house forcing them to take their laundry to a laundromat instead!!

If there isn’t significant equity capture at this purchase price, and it’s not in a great location, this would be a pass for me.

@Kyle LipkoRecommend 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?

Purchase price: $250,000 Cash invested: $75,000 7 bedroom Padsplit property at 93% occupancy What made you interested in investing in this type of deal?

Before that, I purchased property in Rhode Island.

For it’s part, Fannie Mae historically has focused more on purchasing mortgages from larger financial institutions, while Freddie Mac was originally designed to support smaller/regional/thrift institutions.

Purchase price: $4,100,000 Cash invested: $2,000,000 79 unit value add apartment complex with roughly 800k in cap ex completed What made you interested in investing in this type of deal?

I've definitely made some mistakes here but I'm going to be very candid with the info on the deal, so please go easy on me haha.My brother and I purchased a property on a large lot in Culver City CA in 2020 that was essentially a tear down.
