If it is critical for you that the seller warrants the zoning designation, that's something you want to negotiate out in your Agreement of Sale. 3.

A large profit warrants a double close.

This could be in other CRE areas such as development, office etc.5.Begin holding properties that we develop/re-position and sell when conditions warrant doing so.Pros-Action.

@Stone Jin On your lower ROI, one way I would think about it is that this is a premium (or lack thereof) based on the market's perceived reduced risk of your property based on a more favorable geography than say the Midwest - whether that's warranted or not in this climate is a separate question.

The lot rent at both parks may be the same, but the park with all newer homes would be more attractive to a buyer so a higher price would be warranted.  

In addition, condos require 25-35% since they are non-warrantable.

Hey, I think you're spot on as long as you're buying the property using the 50% rule, since you never know when circumstances might change, or your empire grows to the point where you NEED property management.I've found that the following warrant a 55% rule:* older pre-1950 houses* mechanicals and deprciating structures more than 50% through their useful life* low rents (less than $500/mth around here) since fixed costs will be higher as a % of rent* multis where landlord pays water/sewer, common area costs* turnover higher than nat'l avg of once every two years, driving up cleaning and make-ready expenses, and extra marketing/leasing time, even if it is your own time at this point.Happy Thanksgiving.

I hope your market can warrant solar panels for rental properties but I suspect most markets do not.  

Conversely, as a rehab/flip property, use of the inspection contingency may or may not be warranted.
