Suggest you monitor the media feedback during the NFL Draft this weekend - which we expect to be very positive!

that we’ve learned in our 24 years, managing almost 700 doors across the Metro Detroit area, including almost 100 S8 leases:Class A Properties:Cashflow vs Appreciation: Typically, 3-5 years for positive cashflow, but you get highest relative rent & value appreciation.Vacancy Est: Historically 10%, 5% the more recent norm.Tenant Pool: Majority will have FICO scores of 680+ (roughly 5% probability of default), zero evictions in last 7 years.Class B Properties:Cashflow vs Appreciation: Typically, decent amount of relative rent & value appreciation.Vacancy Est: Historically 10%, 5% should be applied only if proper research done to support.Tenant Pool: Majority will have FICO scores of 620-680 (around 10% probability of default), some blemishes, but should have no evictions in last 5 yearsClass C Properties:Cashflow vs Appreciation: Typically, high cashflow and at the lower end of relative rent & value appreciation.

So some ballpark numbers if everything remain the same, ($400ishx12)x10) would be $50Kish + the downpayment I see I got some positive numbers and after they are paid in full is when I believe the cash flow will be in better shape.I am planning to have all properties for long time, so I am planning (fingers crossed) to keep my primary income (job) in order to keep buying more properties.Once again, many thanks for all your comments.

Focus on positioning yourself as a problem-solver with a compelling vision, and don’t hesitate to seek mentorship from experienced developers.

And start from a position of strength rather than getting into a property right before you go back to finish up school and have no income for a year.

Emphasize how this arrangement could work to their benefit, offering steady income, avoiding a traditional sale process, and giving them the freedom to move forward with their plans such as buying that sailboat and sailing around the world.If they ultimately decide they’re not interested in selling, you’re still in a great position to continue your search and buy your own property in the near future.

It is a positive working relationship.

They all had very positive things to say.

Its a risky expensive job.Obviously this is one market but the trend is not positive.

Given their age and position in life… mailbox money flow forever sounds like a good start to retirement to me!
