i think Arbitrage used to be a good vehicle. nowadays, people are more knowledgeable about properties, usage and values and you will have a hard time finding a desirable property at a low cost rent enough to make a profit.

Not too low either, you don't want to go with someone who is just focused on price as this is a quality of a not-so-great accountant.

I have one tenant that has been there for 10 years so their rent is very low.

With such a low ARV, you will probably be looking to sell at 75% ARV - repairs, so subtract your fee/% from that number.

One of the main changes that shocked us both is how low the rent was on some of the properties.
