If they are under paying then I would try to find a win/win where they pay but you handle the vendor relations.

For supercharged cash flow I like this rule of thumb as my #s seem to flesh out well w/in these margins:1BR under $100K2BR under $200K3BR under $300K4BR under $400KMaybe you can go up a notch on each if you want to break even w/cash flow...so to each his own w/that.Of course if they are being sold furnished / turnkey, I'd add in $5-10K of value (depending on how nicely furnished it is) per bedroom.  

As long as you are cash flowing or have the capacity to stick it out in the higher interest rate market buying at a lower price is always a win.

Even though I'd probably win on a legal argument for no requirement to disclose, the buyer could get cold feet at the 11th hour. 

Joke ... you don't really want to see what I look like ... let's just say I'm not getting by on my good looks, or my winning personality for that matter.

It's a win-win, especially if you have the deal and they have the cash flow.2.

We all chase cash flow in the beginning, but property and rent appreciation over time is how you get the big wins. 

Sellers need to be mindful of the time value of money, using realistic interest rates and structuring the deal to protect their position, whether through securing a first-position lien or obtaining a personal guarantee from the buyer.In the end, seller financing can be a win-win, but it requires a balance.

Not sure what market your in but if you can find something that you can potentially at the very least break even then that's a win in this market.
