Of course, it always depends on what your purchase price is and Dayton does have cheap homes! 

Buy: $284,900Rehab: $115,000Holding: $16,500 Points: $3,413 Selling fee: $30,000Insurance hold: $2,000-$2,500 (maybe get back $1,000-$1500 if you close quick)Other title/escrow purchase: $2,500ARV: $500,000Profit: $46,587 (9.25% approx) I would do the deal, especially if you get that gap for rehab closed 3-4 months and tighten up the rehab costs too ($100,000)   

@Omar Fernandez for my NYC purchases I use 978-767-3757 (Berto). 

I have a goal of purchasing a small multifamily this year, so I want to start making the steps to make that happen.

Purchase price: $360,000 We bought this stacked duplex, lived in one unit for 2 years and moved on.

We also have a very strong rental market, and that too has high demand from investors wanting to purchase. 

However, I don't like the fact that properties they will show me, they will have a financial interest in, because it could affect my purchase negatively. what are the pros and cons of going with an agent that requires dual agency vs. not?

NOI divided by purchase price gives you cap rate. 

I recently purchased a triplex in Pittsburgh and have had success with it so far.

Are they going to be able to buy your proudly done flip.3) If you misjudge the market, do you know when to dump it.4) Can you put a spreadsheet together on your purchase costs, carrying costs, rehab costs, closing costs, selling costs, tax costs, contractors that don't show and delay your project etc. etc. etc.5) Is the return worth the risk.
