Ensure you account for expenses like maintenance, vacancy, or capital expenditures.

Hi BP community - I'm an investor with 3 SFHs in the Nashville area looking to acquire my first small multifamily property (2-4 units).I'm trying to determine the best approach for the 25% downpayment, comparing using cash that is currently sitting in a high yield savings account to funds from a HELOC on one of my properties.

It may seem easy to jack up rent but there is something to be said about good, on-time paying tenants.As an accountant, I always rely on the numbers.

Then you need to account for soft expenses like Vacancy/turnover, maintenance, and capital expenses.

Therefore, I have been trying to study up on techniques used to make good offers and over come objections. 

Quote from @Account Closed: Honestly have no clue, but my guess would be contact a lawyer who specializes in real estate.I am also trying to get a hold of other wholesalers in my area and real estate agents.
