We've found that there are neighborhoods in the Cleveland Metro where it's nearly impossible to cashflow, As Jay said tenant quality being one of the main motivators behind that.

Dubai is a very transitory place where expats move in and out of, and this means lots of motivated sellers.

I come across SFR in other states from time to time direct to seller. 

Quote from @Amit Chugh: While searching for apartments, i noticed a commercial apartment listed as Section 8 property, does it make any difference from buyer/seller perspective when it's listed as section 8 property.

I've got signed deal with Seller for $250,000, which includes the 3 franchises AND the real estate for 1 of the units.

I have been looking at properties and it seemed like the seller s  based their price on zero percent cash flow for the buyer.

Hi Adam,The seller pays the seller commissions and (usually) covers the buyers commissions as well so you shouldn't worry about those fees.The 10% vs 20% I feel like is a personal opinion.

Depending on the seller, you may sweeten the deal, by letting them know that they don't immediately need to cash out, or can partly cash out.

It is still a seller's market in many geographic locations, so you can ask potential buyers for an extended closing period and/or with options to extend the closing period. 

In addition, the Grantor will probably be required to sign the same seller's affidavit that are needed for a non DIL closing.
