Double-check the ARV by comparing recent comps in the area to make sure the numbers add up.Run your numbers again with all costs (purchase, rehab, holding, and resale) to confirm the margins are solid.

Cash flow is great, but it can feel incremental compared to the boost you get from equity plays.For me, it's more situational.

so every step is tougher.2. you don't really compare the interest rate when purchased and the interest rate when refinancing - that is apples and oranges. 

You have a good rate compared to current rates.

I usually run several CMAs, with different criterial, and of course compare tax appraisal value with a wholesale price, add 5% as a fee to a transaction, in some cases.

It could provide more cash flow but your leverage would still be less due to the total value of that property compared to the 4plex3) Is there an easy way to understand what price range I should stick to in my area, and should I focus on the best market or focus on the best price for properties? 

You could also get a couple different agents in the area to get you good comps on what to sell it for and compare on what they say the out price can be. 

So, they got taken advantage of.4) They didn't do enough research on comparable properties before doing repairs - so went either overboard or slumlord, instead of properly Maintaining to the Neighborhood.The other challenge we encounter often is investors expecting perfection.
