(2) This  investor owns SFH's in a market that possesses the fundamentals but sells prematurely and fails to take advantage of the primary appreciation event. (3) This investor fails to recognize the equity generated through the primary appreciation event is better served being reinvested in more efficient asset classes that will generate a greater return profile after the primary appreciation event occurs. 

After analyzing the local Mercer County market I've noticed there are not that many MFH that are desirable meaning cash flow can occur, but appreciation, schools and good tenants will be at risk.

This assumes some holdback for capex/repairs/vacancy that will be lumpy and (hopefully) not occurring every month.On a $200,000 interest-only loan at 9% you'd be paying $1,500/month.

This is more likely to occur with rent just below market level.  

Also, air conditioning removes moisture/humidity from the interior airspace, and nearly every home in the Carolinas runs AC during the warm months.Crawlspaces tend to be where the majority of problems occur.

Quote from @Chris Seveney: Every year I like to provide some predictions on what I think will occur in the upcoming year as it relates to seller financing, mortgage note investing and the like.

In the near term appreciation is not guaranteed, but over a long hold it has been a virtual guarantee as it has occurred for every 12 year period going back to start of price records and the 12 year was the Great Recession. - equity pay down is significant on expensive property.So if using 50% expense ratio, if you are less negative than market rent, you are likely doing better than most local RE investors.  

I just want to know if problems will occur for doing this.
