Dubai is still faced with an extreme oversupply of apartments.

Purchase price: $7,800,000 124 unit Garden Style apartment community located near Oklahoma State University in Stillwater, OK.

I feel like I've typed enough.  

So when you hire that able handyman and give him keys to all of the apartments and the security codes without learning that he is 90 days out of prison for breaking and entering and committing assault and kidnapping your umbrella coverage may not help.And, these days, a million dollars of coverage will deal with the contents of a small truck that you sideswipe and it bounces around a little with the electronics inside.

The #1 determinant is the Tenant Pool.If you don't believe us, try putting several Class D tenants in Class A apartment buildings and watch what happens.

I wouldn't feel good about convincing someone elderly to sell to me and then turn around and wholesale it. 

Borrowers overleveraging, deals falling apart, and platforms absorbing starting to selll off these losers.

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.
