He didn't want the walls, so he could  keep his cost low.

Duplex appraised 380 (super ****ing low ball) brings in an estimated 3,900 a month in rents. buyer agreed and SIGNED addendum to purchase at 397,500. day of closing they dont show, tell us they didnt know what they agreed to pay over appraised value and are trying to get us to accept 386k. my agent had me lock in our month to month long term tenant to a year lease for THEIR lender and now they pull this.. they have only 5k in escrow account.. my agent wont reduce his commission from 3%-2% to help bridge the gap. suggestions?? 

Did you pay with a credit card?  

In my experience, Section 8 tenants are low-quality.

Thinking about marking them up 20 percent and chsrvyhg interest in the low teens.

Waiting gives you 0 traffic, which is worse than low traffic.

I would also only do this if both properties have solid appreciation potential.If it was me, I’d consider trying to get a HELOC on the first property and use the funds for a flip or a BRRRR so I could pay back the line of credit within 6 months and then go do it again.

This way there's low risk in the beginning.

First there is no reason to buy a Townhouse "all cash" instead put 40% down and reap the benefits of an extrenly low rate, No PMI and the option to escrow.

I see so many landlords lowing money through rookie mistakes, yet they continue looking for more doors.
