Ohio looks pretty enticing with property values well under 50k, and cash flow over 1%However, most properties are in pretty bad shape, and would definitely need some work.

@Neil Nagaria Another option is to offer them Cash for Keys to get them to leave and maybe 1-2 month's rent in Cash will be enough to entice your tenant to leave.

because when a person leaves the room they tend to turn the light off (if they are paying for the electricity). when the light is off and the fan is wired to the light, the fan stops. the moisture is still in the air and is absorbed by the drywall, thus mildew is created.the way i make it is i entice them to turn the timer on and go to sleep. in 30 mins, it shuts itself off. no moisture in the air.it is really easy to hook it up to the GFCI outlet's load side. 3 of the houses i have have basements, so it's super easy if i have to run another circuit.

What purchase price would make this deal enticing?

Offer: They are asking $150, and I would come in with an all cash offer of just under $90K and a quick closing period to entice the owners (is the all cash offer necessary?).

From what I have observed in the CT and NY markets the property management companies that do charge the ever so enticing 5-8% generally do not have as good communication with investors, and will also up charge / fee the owner to death.

I used to offer 2.5% and use the extra 0.5% to entice the agent to get their buyer to increase their offer.

She was likely mislead by her agent....some do this to entice listings....not your problem and don't be giving the seller any money under the table.

I see no deposit more common on the C class properties but some owners give tenants items like a free TV's or a gift card to Walmart to entice them in.

I have potential deal that could be enticing to an investor, but at face value the numbers don't look great to me at all.
