I wouldn’t invest too much in old technology right before demand creates improvements. 

Hi Chris - Fred & Tracy are very helpful in the seller finance space and are very reasonably priced.

Perhaps they would make more money if STR was an option, however if that's not permitted in their location, no STR demand exists, or no STR PM is willing to take on their property, they may not have that option.

There are also multiple universities that drive rental demand.

•Which unit size would rent faster and have higher demand in this area?

A buyer making a huge fuss about EMD is likely going to be a red flag in the seller's eyes.Best way would be to negotiate a smaller amount up front and then put the balance of the EMD down once you've gone through your DD.

Just a reminder when you buy a property you can request that the sellers pay for most or all of your closing costs!

The most basic offering for sellers is a flat fee MLS listing.

.✅ No longer can a buyer agent commission (that would be paid for by the listing brokerage or seller) be marketed on the MLS listing.✅ An agreement must be in place between the buyer and buyer’s agent before any properties can be toured.It should be noted these rules are in line with the NAR settlement and is an MLS participation requirement, not state law

When you are purchasing a multifamily property, the seller will be advertising the property performs at a certain cap rate.
