In short, this would be an entirely appreciation-based investment.Given the state of the economy today, with high interest rates and the seller-buyer lock out effect, I want to discuss the pros and cons of this investment at length, specifically in the context of all the other properties / neighborhoods that I have been evaluating. 

Here's a fundamental explanation to get your juices flowing:Assume a house costs $200,000 and rents for $1,500.

I probably wouldnt trust it 100% with that though unless I input all of the data that I have from my analysis in terms of ARV, rental rates, rehab rates, etc. now that I type it out, that actually would be a good idea aha. 

I’m also using a 6% vacancy rate, which brings the net monthly cash flow to about $200 and a CoC return of 13.06%.Summary:I’ve created around $50k in equity (difference between ARV of $200k and total investment of $155k).I’ve got about $10k or $18,385 left in the deal (factoring in closing costs).The cash flow is healthy, and the CoC return is strong, especially as a first-time investor.Questions:Does anything look off or could I improve the numbers?

HI @Jaycee Greene, the current cap rate is 6.79%.

If you're strictly buying turnkey properties and financing with DSCR loans, keep in mind that you'll typically need to put down 20% or more, and because of the higher LTV, you’ll often get the highest interest rate available for your credit bracket.

The greater the differential in interest rates between the interest rate of the loan on the subject property and the prevailing current interest rates between the greater the probability that the lender will accelerate the note.  

If trump hadn’t won you’d be forced to sell this year, but hopes are high he will extend his lower tax rates. 

The vast majority of lawsuits against Landlords are for wrongful eviction, security deposit disputes, and Fair Housing Violations.

As others have said, the best thing your son can do is run far from this deal, buckle down, save his pennies (he probably already is doing this), house-hack, and improve a property with sweat, hard work, developing a DIY skillset, and self-managing tenants.
