@Robert Quiroz I think all of the factors you have listed might contribute.So I’m not going to comment on that but I am going to comment on an assumption you made.If 85% of rents are below market on deals you underwrite then those contract rents are probably THE market rent.You can’t just go based upon area median income to rent ratio.First off urban areas are oftentimes street by street, block by block.

Factor 8%-10% for a reliable property manager (use AllPropertyManagement.com).After that, you're golden.

This conveys confidence and ensures you don’t end up overpaying or taking on unfavorable terms.Negotiate More Than Just PricePrice isn’t the only factor in a deal—other terms can often be just as valuable.

But, in the end, a HELOC is great to just have in case that beautiful day comes where I get a great opportunity.

@Dennis Bragg, how did you factor improvements and market appreciation into the buy-back price?

Keep the other factors in mind besides just the cashflow and equity appreciation calculation.

Budgeting for furniture and coordinating the time to execute or hire a designer is something we try and factor into our Pro Forma or analysis.

The key element is :"the intent of which is the transfer of title"in law, the intent can be the determining factor, it doesn't have to actually occur or be done in a specific manner.You can speed because you have your foot down too hard on the pedal or you can speed because you are going down hill.
