Most systems don't deliver the efficiency that they claim because the test conditions are so different from installed conditions (SEER will be replaced with SEER2 that uses more realistic tests) and most systems are oversized.

We've already sold with seller financing and we're open to do it again for the right buyers if we sell some of the condos I mentioned above in Playa del Carmen by the time they're delivered in a few months.I hope this helps.

There are many turn-key providers who can provide you with great cash flow but you need to do your due diligence to ensure they can deliver.

And....for the future, write into your contract property to be delivered vacant if there are tenants in the property. 

It should be a very nice rental income for him over the long haul.You could also invest in syndicated apartment deals or mobile home parks, which could also deliver nice returns (so long as the operator knows what they are doing).Study up and get advice from as many experienced parties in the respected fields before making your run at it.

We’ve also sold a turn-key (not really our business but it just made sense) that was delivering 14% cash on cash return. 

Add a clause to the offer that the unit has to be delivered vacant.

There will be big opportunity for those who can deliver affordable housing in the coming years.

I'm in the same situation now with a fourplex I informed the bank it's going to be delivered vacant they said no problem as long as the LTV and 20% down is met plus personal financial history is good once you go past 4 units in my area then it goes into the commercial division which could be different circumstances also I asked the banker about an LCL versus privately owned he said they will not finance an LCL because of the added layer of protection it offers the buyer.

It wouldn't surprise me if almost everyone delivering the news or hosting a show gets that kind of deduction if it is not provided for by the contract with the studio.
