You will probably be better off just offering $8500 and buyer pays costs than $9000 and seller pays even if the net is identical for both.

The verbiage here in Texas is similar, if not identical.

actually im looking to wholesale it. the property doesn't need any work beside whatever changes the new owner would make. the 2 bedroom pulls in 1100 a month. the owner lived in the 3 bedroom but is currently moving out. i estimate you can get 1400-1500 on the 3 bedroom and another 800-900 on the one bedroom. i was also thinking you can rent each room separately to college students for $700 a room. marist college and the culinary are less than a mile away from the house, with vassar college and dutchess community college with in the city as well. there is a lot of room for profit in this home either way you go with it. safe neighborhood and great neighbors close to entertainment and the local post office as well as the hudson walkway and river. both hospital are a few minutes away along with the malls and good selection of gyms and restaurants and churches.

They are four identical units.

There is also another duplex about a quarter mile away from this one, almost identical setup for sale at $120,000.

The highest comp in the complex was $295k for an identical unit.

Choose the least expensive vendor you can find, the courses are all virtually identical.

That tells me I may not rent it very fast, it's not marketable as a rental.Now, no two properties are identical, location, location, location.If a similar property was rented for an amount and you can tell why it's not longer rented, then you might consider the differences and apply generalizations of rents, if your location significantly different. :)

And great picture - I have one that looks almost identical!

If a tenant (or seller or potential buyer or contractor) manipulates the truth in this way about their identity or their references or their income, it's considered lying.
