The new property has to make $50k plus $12k/yr more than the existing property just to break even.

If I had to pay my cleaners on top of the loss income it would impact even more as my cleaning fees range from $100 to $400 depending on the property.  

In our market, even 6.5% would make cash flowing deals possible for us at purchase (with rent increases to market).

Rents have been pretty close to what the housing authorities advertise, sometimes even a bit higher.Fort Wayne’s a solid spot with low taxes and good cash flow—definitely worth looking into.

Higher risk structures can achieve higher IRRs, but can also break even or even lose money.

Even if someone in these forums were to teach you a creative financing strategy that required zero out of pocket cash and the seller was willing to accept those deal terms, you still aren’t qualified to own real estate with your current balance sheet.

Hahaha I'd bet anyone under 40 doesn't even know what that is :D OK.

Would love any leads to help me solve this problem even if it means making some phone calls.

I do NOT have enough knowledge or experience in this arena to provide specific “how to” accomplish this, or even to provide specific”proof” of my position.
