I'm anticipating having to add 20k to loan to qualify under FHA loan guidelines.

Also, values have generally been coming in lower than anticipated, which is killing many of these deals. 

I don't anticipate needing any capital repairs in the 3 months between purchase and January as the units are in good condition and rentable now.It is also a possibility to do a HML rehab loan as the house does need about 15 windows (houses in this area are all old victorians built in 1800's), this would only require 10% down.

So, hence my interest in trying to buy the redemption rights to anticipate the settlement of the deed.

They're great when you live at the property, but can then destroy your anticipated cashflow if / when you decide to move out and rent all units.- When house hacking, be sure to establish a good relationship with your tenants, but avoid "being friends".

I believe it- the market has absolutely exploded thanks to anticipation over Micron, but still has an overall low barrier to entry.

I may be getting this property back sooner than anticipated.

If you're using standardized or rule-of-thumb metrics (for example, many out of state investors do this for expediency), you may find that tax and insurance expenses are much higher than anticipated. 

What would be interesting is to see your original spreadsheet you put together to show how much money you would make on this and how much you anticipated for repairs. 

If you buy class C or D properties you are going to have way more issues than you can ever anticipate on paper.
