Getting a DSCR of 1 in some of the higher tax counties of Georgia is tight, but we've been able to get through them.

Quote from @Phillip Austin: There are two alternatives to a security deposit, which I speak about in my book.

Consider all the things that could go wrong and see if the lease addresses them: unauthorized pets or tenants, early termination, security deposit, lease violations, late rent, eviction, lawn maintenance, parking, etc.5.

My duplex - built 1989, 2,060 sf, 2 bed/bath, 1 year old roof, value if I subdivide (county already approved) and sell each separately $150k each ($300k total)Investor duplex - built 1995, 2,300 sf, 2 bed/bath, 5 year old roof, value around $310kThe investors initial request was for an equal trade and they would pay realtor fees, which I replied wouldn't be equal due to buying/selling costs (recording fees, title insurance, closing fee, survey, inspections, loan fees, 1031 fees, accountant fees, repairs), taxes would increase due to new sale price, I'd trade a 3.75% mortgage for a higher one, and I'm on the 10th year of a 30 year loan so resetting that to a new loan would restart amortization and pay more towards interest.

Will the property taxes skyrocket?

It's simply factual:  you violated the lease by smoking, stop it, remove the resulting odor and that a repeat action could result in eviction and loss of security deposit.  

The real property investment can be repositioned if it proves disappointing in its original form; it can be refinanced or recapitalized if it has too much or too e pensive debt; inflation over time bales out many bad purchases, and finally the investors knowledge, experience and abilities can be leveraged to turn around a cash flow negative property.I’ll provide an exampleThree years ago we purchased a note from a bank secured by two auto repair facilities with a large amount of excess land.  

However, there's a loss on the 2023 Tax Returns, and Net Income is $45,000 in 2022 (Client has lots of writeoffs) What loans could I use that only consider:- Bank Statements - 1099s - Credit Score Please contact me with options.

Might be an additional cost there.If units are updated, capex items look good, leases and tenants look solid, and there are no other regular expenses besides the 5200 in insurance/property taxes then I like this deal.  

Make sure you do your math correctly when analyzing property taxes…they will be eye opening.
