Thanks Ashley, I don't have a problem holding rentals or doing some seller financing, I was hoping to learn on a smaller scale and earn some cash to provide for the SFR flips i want to do. 

@Ashley Childers Thank you so much for the examples would mind naming other things that could be changed for terms?

Hi Ashley,In my opinion this one seems to be like it could be a nightmare. 

Originally posted by @Ashley Pimsner:@Brad Gibson use the rental calculator on BP and use 10 % for vacancy and 5% each for capex and repairs, 8 % for property management, actual taxes, and get a quote from an insurer to gauge policy cost.Get actuals for garbage, water, electric etc from sellers.Check the assessor website for assessed value and treasurer website to make sure real estate taxes are accurate.Plug in 25% down payment at 5.25% on either a 20 or 25 year am which most likely will balloon in 5 or 7 years...if you want a more specific rate contact a few portfolio lenders like small banks or credit unions near the apartment and give them your scenario to find most accurate/favorable rates to input into BP calculator.Check trulia or www.spotcrime.com to gauge criminal element.Finally check with commercial real estate agents and inquire about cap rates for similar properties in the area and see how that compares with the cap rate on BP calculator.That should give you the basics to help you evaluate deal.PS-Read "Multi Family Millions" by Dave Lindahl.Good luck! 

Any help, thoughts, or contacts would be GREATLY appreciated.Best, Ashley

@Ashley Pohlman Terrible idea!!!
