This is what we've done, and have been fortunate enuf to have found some investors here on BP to do just that.I'll bet my bottom dollar that people buying these turnkeys haven't made 15%, hassle free.

I bet you can buy two (or more) smaller houses (1200 sq.ft more or less) in a bread-and-butter neighborhood.Will your 2700 sf beast cashflow given the 50% rule?

Renae, Your best bet is to "add value" to either another investor or find a partner is willing to let you do the heavy lifting.

Enrie, Your best bet is to spend some time on the site and learn more about the "flipping" side of the business.

I say of course, start writing the offer while i go look at it, but I will bet it is in multiple offers already.

Items 4 and 7 are your best bet for an adjustment.

I can almost bet that your low-ball offer is nowhere where it would need to be in order for this person to just walk away.

And, if you're betting that inflation will eventually kick in at some point and rents will go higher, nothing will do better for appreciation than multi family.

But if its commercial, all bets are off.

I'd bet the "They bought the call option that is now worthless" and "Too freaking bad" approaches taken by investors engaging in deals like this is why that law exists.I'd bet if you said to these buyers "you bought a call option that's now worthless" that they would look at you with the deer in the headlights look.Having said all of that you likely shouldn't have sold them an option to start with because the investment is not suitable for unsophisticated buyers.
