At one point or another, you’ve probably heard someone say, “Yesterday was the best time to buy a home, but the next best time is today.”That’s because nationally, home values continue to rise.

Hey Tim,Sounds like your lender is underwriting this as a multifamily deal instead of two separate single-family townhomes, which is probably why they’re pushing for duplex comps.

This year is probably already 80% booked for March.

Can try to reposition to Class B, but neighborhood may impede these efforts.Vacancy Est: Historically 10%, but 15-20% should be used to also cover tenant nonpayment, eviction costs & damages.Tenant Pool: majority will have FICO scores of 560-620 (approaching 22% probability of default), many blemishes, but should have no evictions in last 2 years.

Ideally, you'd want to have signed leases from each tenant, but the strategy part of it is that you also wanna make sure that you don't run people away while you are either increasing rent or preparing any units that are currently vacant.I would probably take a step-by-step approach.

Now if you were to find a deal like this with another builder and put down 25% or 100k and your loan would be 300k, your 100k would get you 225k equity in the property and it would probably cash flow between 10k to 15k a year by year 2 with the smaller loan payment.

I have investors buy property from 60-100k, and cashflowing between $500-$1000/monthly depending on what they buy.It's going to take you time to acquire properties, but with the amount you hypothetically have saved up, you could probably get up to about $10k in rental income buying smaller price point properties.

Yes probably. are you capable of giving an explanation to why? 

You've probably heard location, location, location.
