The deal has already increased in value, and I’m on track to significantly boost rental income and long-term returns upon completion.

And many investors, both local and remote, are finding properties with decent revenue returns and/or cash flow.

Haven't had any luck lately but the market has gotten harder to find deals.

Honestly it’s all about opportunity cost.If that additional cost is going to yield you more than it costs; then pull the trigger .If you borrow a down payment, it’s going to reduce your cash on cash return as your mortgage payment is increased. 

I guess you'll have to ask yourself, do you want to be a return on equity, or a return on cash flow investor. - Ideally you want both but with a lower down payment, the less cash flow you have due to high mortgage.

In Michigan, and much of this probably also logically applies to Ohio, a DEPOSIT must be returned. 

Lastly, I have been lenient with the tenants regarding late rent.

@Brody VeilleuxTo maximize returns on multifamily housing, focus on mid-grade updates, amenities, curb appeal, utilities, exploring additional units, creating flexible spaces, and refinancing with a value-add record.

In return, our partners are highly engaged and bring us their best ideas and deals.In our first year of business, Mindful Real Estate Partners has two GUC exits, another two under contract, and 15 active deals.

Hey @Jeff Ryan - While I can not speak to your exact situation, I can speak to the thousands of homes I have walked here in Chicago, where majority of the homes were built in the late 1800s/early 1900s.I would say that 7/10 of the older homes I look at have some sort of settlement in the foundation, which causes the cracks and sloped floors you are mentioned you are seeing in your property.
