All things considered, on the market for months, its now winter time, cold weather, holidays, and dark at 5 pm, not prime selling time, I offered $250,000. 

This would give an initial rental rate, and then step up every 3 months slightly until you reach your target rental rate. 

Also I am the co leader of the Landlord Focus Group which happens once a month and you can come there to meet buyers.

Utilized a low down payment loan, maxed seller credit, tax proration and closed on the 1st of the month to maximize my cash and acquire this property What was the outcome?

If we flip it under 12 months, any strategy to be considered as an investor LLC ?

I'm looking at monthly cost to seller vs. anticipated rental income, purchase price relevant to the ARV of the area and interest rate, balloon, etc.

When evaluating a property management company, it's important to look beyond just the management fee and consider the full scope of services and costs involved.For example, at our company, we charge a 10% monthly management fee, a $250 lease renewal fee (unless it’s a takeover tenant, which requires additional effort to establish a strong relationship - because usually people are changing pm companies for a reason), and the first month’s rent as a leasing fee.

Quote from @Tyler Garza: Deal :Duplex Home2 beds / unit2 baths / unit3,000 sqftAsking 300k60k downEst rent/yr - 31,2005% Vacancy20% Op ExpenseMortgage 240k assuming 7%Results: CF - 6,600Cocr - 11%Cap - 8%Looking at this for a buy and hold and trying to determine if I am analyzing this right@Tyler Garza I can get to your COC of 11% and cap rate of 8%, but since I don't know your loan payment or amort, I'm not sure how you got to CF of $6,600 - I'm getting arond $4,600.And a couple of things jump out at me with your assumptions versus most of my CFO clients: 1) a 5% vacancy rate and 20% Op exp margin seem a little low, 2) an LTV of 80% LTV (with a 7% interest rate) seems high unless you're house hacking, 3) Depending on the location of the property, the $1,300/month/unit rent may be low.

January’s CPI came in at 3.4% year-over-year, slightly above expectations, reinforcing the Fed’s cautious approach.Economists expect this month’s CPI to show a slight decline, but if inflation remains above 3.4%, the Fed may delay rate cuts even further.

My Name is Miles, currently living in Arlington (DFW Area), I've always had intentions of at some point getting into real estate, now at 40, and finally at a place financially that it is feasible, I'm planning on spending the next 6-8 months learning all I can (and then rest of my life continuing learning lol) before taking the FIRST plunge.
