I have one property I manage in a lower income area.

It also felt like they are pulling from something that talks to the bigger management companies with larger MFH and lower-end SFH, whereas my area is mostly mom and pop operator with SFH and the BP calc wasn't differentiating.

You can't force them to make repairs or lower the price.

New home communities have lower cap ex due to their age/warranty and that may be what you are most comfortable with.

These two work very well together and have worked on several transactions together which is important for communication amongst all involved.

What are you actually trying to accomplish with this transaction?

Oftentimes, when appraisers walk into a rehabbed property, they assume that the value is LOWER than an equivalent house that isn't being flipped.

Cash on Cash return is 52.7% (obviously we will put more cash into things throughout the year which will make the COCR lower. 

If I had 75k to invest and my goal was to scale and build a multi million dollar REI firm, I'd not go more than 20k in transaction costs to close on my first deal. 

That way you can preserve your cash flow and look to reposition when rates are better or prices are lower?
