They all have yards and a driveway , its not like living in an apartment .   

There's obviously opportunity here to build this out and turn it into a basement apartment, which I think would cash flow because of course there's no mortgage. 

Quote from @Sufyan Ahmed: I have never purchased a house before as I like living in my 2 bedroom rental apartments. 

I want to invest it wisely so that a part of it is used for my living expenses and the remainder invested in RE producing cash flow and appreciating over time.

Networking with luxury RE brokerages will probably fast track you as well. 

When you are a new agent you do not have the luxury of referrals from clients you have worked with over the years.

@LaTonya Clark If you are saying you are $10K apart in a $265k vs. $275K acquisition  and you believe a 40 year amortized loan is necessary to make the numbers work, this transaction may have bigger problems.  

Personal criteria, building criteria and area criteria will all affect the way a deal appears on paper. two 100 unit apartment complexes, one in an A area and one in a C+ area will have very different financial breakdowns and interest groups.Want to know if a deal is good (for you)?

Glad to have you as a part of this awesome community, Chandler! 

Helps you stand apart from similar 4 bedroom homes and if you choose to pursue a rent by the room strategy in can create additional cash flow.
