I have one house-hacking property in SLC, but homes here have gotten a bit too high to see any cash-flow.

3) Chances are HiGH you would make more money putting your tax free capital gains in a bank CD than using this property as a rental. 4) after all that. 

We are very flexible and would highly appreciate any suggestions or recommendations you might have!

You also have to take into consideration this is a condemned building, so you will need to get permits for all the work you will getting done on the property, Also, given that this is SV and not a prime area on the west side your ARV will not be high.

I highly recommend taking your deal(s) to your local meetup.

We had a recent FHA quote with 3.5% down in the high 5%’s..What do you expect from the purchase and refinance markets if rates drop by 1%?

Borrowing from the equity must be done wisely, or you will have negative cash flow and beat high risk due to over-leveraging.NOTE: I use interest rates much lower than they currently are in 2024!

Hello,A good rule of thumb in NC I tell my sellers about: if we get lots of showings in the first 2-4 weeks, but no offers, the price is too high by a good bit (15-25% estimated).If we get showings, and one low ball offer, the price is a little too high (5-10% too high).The longer a property sits on the market, the more likely you'll end up accepting a lower price ...better to go ahead and do a price reduction now and sell it faster, than letting it sit and eventually the market will do the price cut for you. 

I highly recommend.

Re utilities you can also call utility co before owning and ask what is high and low over last 12 months, and avr bill, of each unit.
