It might be the way I have to keep going but it's why I'm exploring this fund option as an alternative.1.

On the surface, the deal seems appealing, but there's a catch: the asking price is $475,000, which is about 18% over the market value (based on comps and DealCheck estimates around $402,000).Details of the DealProperty: Duplex, 2,400 sq. ft., Purchase Price: $475,000 ($197.9/sq. ft.).Estimated Market Value: $402,000 ($168/sq. ft.).Financing Terms: 2% interest rate, with a 9-year balloon.Unit B Income: $2,049/month (Section 8 tenant through November 2025).Unit A Income Potential: Similar rent or higher; Section 8 cap for the area is $3,234/month.Monthly Loan Payment (P+I): $1,386.Cash Flow Breakdown (if both units are rented at $2,049/month):Gross Rent: $4,098/month.Vacancy (10%): $410/month.Operating Expenses (37.3%): $1,376/month.Net Cash Flow: $943/month.Key QuestionsWould you be comfortable paying an 18% premium for financing at 2%, especially in a market where current mortgage rates are closer to 7%?

These things going to court you have to Steel Man the argument and if you can do that with a good base for your side being in the right/wining the argument then you may be able to win in court.

Based on the info in your post, my recommendation would be to turn these assets into well oiled machines and max out their NOI.

I think I’ve covered my bases, but I’d love to connect with others working on similar models or interested in this niche.Looking forward to hearing your thoughts!

@Mike Dymskiagree - a lot of new investors are trying to pick a market based on solely on math. 

However, when I am unable to run screening reports due to this, we can push them to our "alternate screening".

If you know you are going to 30+ properties quickly I would choose the PMS based on that rather than where you are now.

What index are your heloc's based on ... ?

Alternatively, I have spent the last decade doing technical work in cybersecurity, and can land a job between $140k-$190k (depending on where in the US).
