Population and employment growth has remained strong and continues to enhance our supply/demand especially outside of the A class segment.I'm underwriting everything with flat line rent growth and a large increase in vacancy.

I have been considering renting by the room for enhanced cash flow in this market where it is hard to get strong cash flow.

Then, after high school, take some cheap courses online or at your community college that will enhance the area in which you're interested. 

That part i'm not concerned with -- what i want to know is:"How can the seller -- instead of discounting the price of the property by an additional $1.4M -- offer me the $1.4M in cash at time of closing"  So the bank is still only loaning 75%-80% of the appraised value... i still put up 20%-25% in cash... but i then get a big cash check at closing - or in a side escrow deal - which enhances my cash-on-cash return that much more.  

Yes they almost need some recommendations/enhancements from the BP community to make it better. 

@Jonathan Feliciano this is a commonly used strategy in a lot of places, and it can definitely produce good returns and enhance the usability of a house when done correctly. ...though, there are also plenty of examples of it turning into a poorly-planned hack job that ruins the usability of a house...A few things to consider:-Does the garage connect to any wet walls, and is the sewer main easily accessed?
