The local branch manager got involved, couldn't understand what I was explaining either, didn't want to admit it, and got defensive and shut down when I tried having my attorney explain it to her in a different way.

@James Mayshave you seen this property yourself?

Quote from @James Wise: Quote from @Jinglei Shen: I am building my investment portfolio(duplex) in Ohio Cleveland, a few properties i have analyzed  with net cashflow  around $100 to $290 here is one deal I am analyzingDuplex generates $1590 income /month together,purchase price $123,000rate 7.5%, downpayment 25%5% vacancy, 10% mgm fee, $1400/year insurance,10% capex, 5% maintenance,COC is 8.73%monthly net cash $277this deal meets1% rule, bring in positive cash, my question is it in normal range in Ohio Cleveland market? 

The existence of a contract -- I agree with you on this -- may be a complete defense to such a claim. 

@James Dickens I definitely understand, is there anyway you can connect me I’m trying to sell a nice brick rental.

I find land lording experience to be more work and stress than I would prefer with small kids, but that it is still a nice defensive portfolio position.
