After I told him the contract price, he said "you hit a home run, especially in this market" :)  At this point, unless the inspector uncovers something major,  here is what we're looking at:Paint (walls, doors, trim and ceiling) and carpet (3 bedrooms).  

I like a 10 year pay premium and let the dividends pay the rest of the policy for me.It took me years and many mentors to uncover this powerful investing strategy.

At any point during the job the contractor will take any new information uncovered and try and emotionally hit you to shake your confidence about what is entailed and how it justifies a more expensive change order.  

The big ticket items were obvious so no real surprises. 99% of the time when you go over budget it's usually because you change plans mid flip or something is uncovered during demo (rot, plumbing issues, structural and so on) .

if those numbers are accurate/actual (noi = 60450 and price = 465000) then that could shape up to be a good deal.a lot still needs to be uncovered through due diligence and examined such as:-title report-inspections/inspection reports-previous yrs income/expense statements, rent rolls, utility bills, any service contracts attached to the property, previous years tax bills, etc.

Welcome.If you're in IT, then you know it would take a 12 year old kid about 2 minutes to "uncover" your ownership.PO Box, Yes.

Section 8.My question is: Now that I've had the inspection and uncovered ~$15k of repairs that will be needed over the next year or two what would you say is a fair purchase price for the size house, area and fact that there is a tenant already living there? 

It's your job to uncover that before you rent to them.  

Then when one bank sells it's mortgage from one to the other, it's all done thru MERS, by assigning the mortgages to the next bank..Now, there's some legal controversy involving MERS, uncovered during the mortgage crises, court cases which I won't get into, which is a subject onto itself. 

If we simply uncover an opportunity thru a resident survey that they are willing to pay say $30/mo more per month to have covered parking and 100 spaces are created and rented in your 150 unit community, you've just created $36K / yr in additional income.
