No one can answer that because we don't know what market you are in and what your list price is versus the actual value, as well as the scale of the town.When something hasn't sold in 50 days, it's overpriced.

Purchase price: $395,000 Cash invested: $39,500 We were dreamed buying home in California, but we just turned our around.

To rent the home, I would lose about $2,500 per month (based on comparable rents in my area, property management fees, etc).Both options loose the same amount by roughly 2 years, and by this time, I still will not have built up much more equity in the home to make selling it a break even unless there is price appreciation by then.My dilemma is this: I speculate that my home will not appreciate much in the next 3-5 years due to the rapid pace of development in the surrounding area.In 5-10+ years, maybe, but by then I'll have bled $150,000 - $300,000.I have thought about this a lot and feel that I mar'-too close to the problem to see the best solution.

Or a seller finance calculator showing the monthly payment based on negotiated price, interest rate, down payment, etc.

Also, if you buy using a hard money lender or cash, Zach Starnes can do re-fi's off the appraised value shorter than the typical 6mos and then you might not need any money down if you buy at the right price.

Purchase price: $190,000 Cash invested: $34,000 Triplex, ranch style.

You can still get cashflowing 4 units there though which sell mostly to investors, its just the sf and 2 units that have gone crazy on price recently.

The sooner you can send offers out and get a deal in contract and past inspection at a price that works it will put you in a good position once that subject property closes.

Quote from @Evan Polaski: @Chris Seveney, I hadn't looked at any details on this offering into now.Things to consider from their own marketing:Operating partner has done all of 10 flips.Their entry price point is a price that I would expect any truly experienced flipper to be able to take down very easily on their ownTheir historic IRR, while high by MF standards, is average, at best, from my experience with flips, and it is unknown if this is net to LP returns.I have flipped homes myself, so am not their target investor.
