If you have positive cash flow, the money is coming from the tenant, so this method of analysis, or most other typical methods of financial analysis, isn't valid here.

When you don't, you are susceptible to being sold a property that looks like it has a correct valuation based on comps, but the comps (although they may be very close...even across the street) are not valid because they are not part of the micro-market.When you find/analyze for micro-markets, you are analyzing every property in that micro-market by default.

One of the two stabbed someone at a gas station - I recognized them from the news article (they had security footage), and they've been turned in to the police (the police have all their info, but haven't acted on it yet).

Wouldn't the prior leases no longer be valid once the property has changed hands, regardless of how long until their former renewal date or the stated duration of the old lease? 

There are plenty of real estate software/education scams out there so I felt like this was a very valid concern.

For anyone to sign a Valid purchase agreement or Deed, they have to have the laegal ability to do so.....which will likely require some type of probate proceeding.....just being a relative doesn’t give you the power to sell.

For the duplex, gas heating costs less than $1,500/year.

@Jeremy MarshallIm a fan of gas and a central hvac system but that is common here. 

When I'm home on the weekend, I'll look through my materials to see if the links, etc are still valid and see what I can post here.
