Purchasing a property for your child while they attend college can be a strategic investment and a great way to provide them with stable housing.

Further, running a very quick and simple valuation based on $900 rents, 8% vacancy, 25% op exp margin, and a 9% cap rate, I'm coming up with an ARV of around $83k, so I'd pass if I were you unless you can get a much lower purchase price.

However, even though every house, market, and buyer may be different, these few design elements work literally anywhere.If you have double sinks, use double mirrors and a vanity light above each mirror!

Even if you do find such a deal, getting it to cash flow after repairs and a cash-out refinance is extremely difficult, especially for single-family homes.

If your looking to invest and learn about notes PPR may not be the right place as they are true mailbox $ and as passive as it gets (which is nice as well).

Seller will be taking a 30k+ loss with this route.325k with 50K down to seller, 3 years of payments $1600/month, and a balloon payment of 215k at the end of 3 years.Benefits to me: (1) 10k less downpayment, (2) with the conventional route, the loan would be at 228k after 3 years of payments, so I will gain additional equity with the 2nd option since I will owe 215k (presumably I will have to refinance at that time).Benefit to seller: she gets over asking price, 50K upfront and $300/month of cash flow.Does this offer and structure sound reasonable?

Five bullet points AND a graph.

The difference between a 12% return and a 16% return compounded over 20 years will make you sick to your stomach. 

I live in California (Central Coast) and have built a 12-door portfolio in Detroit, which has been a great market for both cash flow and long-term potential.Detroit still offers properties well below the $150k mark, with strong rent-to-price ratios and a market that’s seeing growth in key areas.

I see value in working with people who want Midwest entry level homes and as well as the higher end New Construction stuff in growth markets.
