IF my numbers are truely "too low" I just looking gain confidence in how I am analyzing properties and estimating repairs.  1710 10TH AVE N, 37208: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1B0CoSbGxQFbRBVzXBERw...6121 Southampton Dr 38119: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1a3WBEcgv2SMggu5P2HrK...2014 Salem Mason Dr, 27208: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Jzr5TN9PYhuiFuD2THLb...Spoke with a seller yesterday, before I go with these numbers I thought it best to ask for some guidance. 

If my spouse wasn’t opposed to moving I would try to buy a new house hack every 12-15 months and use low down payment owner occupied loans for as long as it made sense.

But, it may not offer the ROI as other locales, and it may not be "fun" like buying in a favorite vacation spot.2 - The highest ROI folks - Self explanatory, will go where ROI is high and/or regulation low.3 - The second home/retirement minded - These people are looking for minimal ROI but want the house in a specific location because they like to use the property and want it to pay for itself.

No reserves, Income may be good, credit on the low side and NO Equity in the home.  

In my area, they charge transfer tax on the assessed value rather than the LOW sale price.

The median home price is also very low nationwide which creates a low barrier to entry.

When they do HML on OO, they want very low risk.  

But you will never see the appreciation that truly builds wealth, because those low-barrier-to-entry properties will stay flat on the metric that matters: appreciation. 

I have noticed competitors charge as low as 10 to 15% but their quality isn't the best and then I have seen others charge 25 to 30% We remain in the middle and provide a small business experience with super host status.

No debt, they bought this place for like 200k in early 90s, quite old people. im not sure if they will be alive for the 7yr term but they chose it..The reason im putting so much down is im buying w gift money and i want low monthly payments.
