Do we accept putting additional cash into our first deal or do we keep our eyes open for another deal.Original Offer:Price: 153k ($31k into the deal)Anticipated rent: $2,000k/monthOperating expenses: $9.4k / year (includes management, cap ex, vacancy, taxes, insurance, etc.)Cashflow: $4.2k / yearCash on Cash return: 13.68%The appraisal came in at 146k and they raised some very valid points on why the property was not worth 153.  

The bank accepted $2,500 as payment in full.
