Problem was it's a common perk for Chinese restaurants to provide lower paid staff with room and board, and without the upstairs apartment, renting an apartment in nearby towns for staff is a problem with rooming house regulations beside a major expense.

How do you handle situations where ARV comes in lower than expected?

But depending on the magnitude that home price range would have to go lower. 

This is why we buy only in the suburbs of Milwaukee, even though prices are higher, but taxes are lower and overall you have better demographic pools to rent to.

I have found lower end W/D more recently have been failing much faster than the higher end names (Samsung, LG, etc). 

To be conservative, I assumed rents will be on the lower end of the spectrum.

(You’re paying $500/mo in but if you gave them $X (Say $80k.) it would lower your payment $500/mo.)

Most of my really really high returns are in the lower end of that spectrum.Is there a delimiting factor I use, not particularly.

With $50k, you might be able to get started using an FHA loan, which typically requires a lower down payment, as long as you’re planning to occupy the property.

You could look for a PML (friends or family and offer to pay them interest but lower than what the HELOC is).
