If you want to be nice, give the tenant the option of signing a long term lease with a moderate rent increase.   

Could be more, but I want to start moderately. 

Interested to hear what everyone would accept as far as cap rate/ROI for a duplex where some renovations ($25k worth) are needed and then renting the place out as a long term investment.  Thanks  

200K invested in a moderate risk income fund should produce on average a 10% return.

Down payment assistance programs are typically designed to help individuals or families with lower or moderate incomes achieve homeownership.

If you have 4 years of tax returns I would expect them to paint a moderately good picture of what's going on.

If you do Airbnb, you can generate moderate revenue during the Winter months.

Now,   there are a couple re-sales currently available among this stock competing with a few brand new units all of which have been for sale with weekly opens for at least a few weeks.More broadly,  definitely seeing more open houses and more SFR / townhouse / condo stuff available in south end of seattle,  but prices haven't really moderated yet.
