Purchase price: $242,548 Airline Crash Pad with 18 beds available for a total potential for $4225 per month.

After sitting on the sidelines trying to get into real estate investing for several years, I have the opportunity to purchase a 1 bed, 1.5 bath home in a desirable part of the California desert.The purchase price is $299,000 with a 7.3% interest rate and 3% down.

Market rate right now is minimum 300 dollars above what I am charging for the unit but my tenants are good and I don’t feel right springing such an increase on them. 1500 per month is what I would have to pay for a 2 bed 1 bath apartment around here and my unit currently is 3 bed 2 bath. 

That may help cover your current mortgage payment, the HELOC and still put cash in your pocket.Last ditch: if you happen to have somewhere else to live: If your "Investment home" is close or near to an airport (10-15 mins) consider: Renting Beds to Flight Attendants. 

1300sqft 4 bed/2 bath SFH versus 1300sqft 2/1, 2/1 duplex.assuming same area, both new builds, same finishes etc etc. 

Property: SFR in Ontario, CaliforniaRent $3200Mortgage Payment (2.875% rate) - $2661.06 + $185 HOA = $2846Mortgage Balance - $456k Estimated Value - $700k(3 bed/2 bath)

What can we do, I am currently in a contract with this property, it is originally a single-family home and the owner added (3) 1 bed 1bath units at the back (without securing permits).

As a seller or listing agent, I get a pest inspection and regular home inspection done immediately from a local company that all of the local agents trust.

Anything to highlight to local area.Take another look at your beds. 

No leads so far.This is summer where most of the students are either off on holidays or have an apartment.It is a 1 bed, 1 bath.
