The neighborhood has been flourishing, making this incident highly unusual.What initially drew me to the property was the potential for high rent and strong cash flow.

@Robert Ruschak I'm a firm believer in "everything happens for a reason."

Can try to reposition to Class B, but neighborhood may impede these efforts.Vacancy Est: Historically 10%, but 15-20% should be used to also cover tenant nonpayment, eviction costs & damages.Tenant Pool: majority will have FICO scores of 560-620 (approaching 22% probability of default), many blemishes, but should have no evictions in last 2 years.

the guy told me they are a sister company of another big firm (forgot the name)  that they wanted to appeal to this new generations  the terms sound very interesting,, where do you think we can fing more info on them?

They were a law firm who hunts class action suits to go against companies. 

With  one property, a hotel that doubled as a homeless shelter one neighborhood over shut down and has caused problems for the surrounding areas.

It was a VA foreclosure and in an incredible neighborhood.

These should be reflected in the purchase price or negotiated as part of the terms, such as the seller carrying some of the renovation burden.Use seller financing to your advantage by proposing a price closer to $225,000-$250,000 with terms such as 20% down, a low interest rate (4-5%), or interest-only payments for 3-5 years, with a balloon payment once renovations are complete and cash flow stabilizes.If the seller is firm on price, consider negotiating higher down payment terms to reduce the financed amount, paired with interest-only terms or a price reduction tied to renovation milestones.Key questions to address include the condition of the septic system, which can be a significant expense if it fails.

This is located in the Sailboat Bend neighborhood of Downtown Fort Lauderdale.
