Background on me: I need to obtain a graduate degree for promotion at work, but it can be in any field at low-no cost to myself.

But on 100 year old homes in low value neighborhoods capex often exceeds cash flow over time.

You could structure the deal with seller financing to bridge the gap.Possible offer structure:-Purchase Price: $170K - closer to actual value-Down Payment: Low or zero down to conserve cash-Interest Rate: 3%-5% - or better yet, 0% if the seller will agree-Monthly Payments: Interest-only or deferred until the sale-Balloon Payment: Full payoff in two years when you sellIf he wants $200K, you can still make an offer of:-$170K purchase price + $30K as a second lien due at closing-Seller carries $170K at a low interest rateHe would feel closer to his number, but you still keep within reasonable investment limits.2.

If his landlord reference for the past five years is good, that would weigh much heavier than his eviction.Based on what you've shared, I think this is a low-risk situation, and I would probably accept them with a deposit equal to one month of rent.

If your opt-out percentage is too high then it may look suspicious to the carriers; ultimately, affecting your delivery rates.The goal is to keep you opt-out percentage low while maintaining compliance. 

This is a killer city that is untapped with low barrier to entry! 

It's going to be challenging to find another house hack with as low of a monthly payment as you currently have, given the low interest rate.

Prices are still low compared to most markets homes are going for around $204K on average but they’re steadily climbing.

It has shown nice equity growth although the cash flow is relatively low.

No contracts and you can transfer your cameras from project to project.Depending on how much coverage you need they have really low monthly plans.
