@Shane H.HUD does not accept bids based on repairs needed or the existence of mold etc. 

AND try to find a market where you do not have to compete as much with 2nd home demand - a place where people go to vacation but is not top of mind for a rich guy's vacation home destination (ski town, lake house, etc.).If you are asking for the secret market that returns 20% cash on cash without any renovation or difficulty, that doesn't exist.

If the lease says rent is due on the 1st, I would give her the option of following the lease or moving out.In the future, every offer to purchase a property with existing tenants should include a request for an estoppel.

It will be a new asset with little to no cap ex, and lower expenses.With an apartment, if you buy an existing building, you will cash flow day one, but there are other concerns, such as age, property management, debt, exit strategy.It depends upon your goals with the money, if you're trying to create income, or if you're trying to go into the business full time.Gino

There exist several distressed apartments buildings in downtown Lisbon (1-6 units) from 300-500k needing refurbishment with an average refurbishment cost of 20-30k max per building.

The cash value does not exist without the death benefit.

But consider that if you buy an existing home at market rates you may get a more favorable purchase price, and either way 5.5% or 7% you'll be refinancing when rates drop. 

Hey Aaron,Unfortunately, this does not exist. 

Owners should write a narrative about deals/assets for insurance providers.2-3% rent growth is always appropriate.Rents are flattening.Buyers are focusing on untrended rents.Getting the pig through the snake, as an analogy for getting through current excess rental inventory absorption to get to a gap that will exist in a couple of years.

It does not seem to, but a couple properties have significant amounts owed to an individual through an Assignment of Rents document and I just want to get another set of eyes on this to make sure I'm interpreting this correctly.The deed conveys title to the purchaser free of all encumbrances of any kind existing before the sale, except:(a) Any lien for installments of taxes and special assessments, that installments will become payable upon the secured roll after the time of the sale.
