In-place cash-on-cash returns are projected at 17.8% at an asking price of $1,500,000 and 21.3% based on pro forma assumptions.Significant upside exists for a new investor through an increase in market rents and a reduction in operating expenses to market norms.A co-brokerage fee of 2% is available to a Broker that sources and registers a Principal that neither Vanguard nor current ownership have previously contacted regarding this opportunity.Seller prefers to sell the assets together as a portfolio.

Nothing wrong with asking for a credit/reduction or simply fix before closing.

My 3rd house was my favorite this year for several reasons: I was familiar enough with the market to know it was a good deal, was able to get the contract signed ASAP, and even negotiated a price reduction from the already low asking price.I met two newer but enthusiastic wholesalers on this deal.

On the surface, the answer appears to be simple...BUT one will caution that in order to make a true determination, it requires a lot of actual research on a local market/neighborhood and the answer is actually much more in-depth...so take this with a grain of salt..lolClass A- Newer Growth Areas (new construction, rebuilding of infrastructure, core fundamentals reflect strong growth, low unemployment, pro-active government, home prices increasing, vacancy rates decreasing, demand slightly higher than supply, School Districts usually have a 5+ rating, etc.)Class B - Older yet Stable Areas (Little new construction, no major fluctuation in growth or reduction of population, little to no change in employment opportunities or unemployment rates, infrastructure is old yet functional and not being updated, supply and demand are fairly equalized, rental vs home ownership relatively equal, home prices stabilized, School Districts usually have a 3-5 rating, low to moderate crime rates, etc.) 

Make sure the $25 billion that goes right back to Uncle Sam gets used for debt reduction.

Fortunately for me the rental market was strong at the time and could get the payments covered by renters that would fix them for me for a reduction in rent.

For whatever it's worth, something to consider is long-term cost reduction of checkbook-control, which compounds over time.

.- If they can't that come up with that paperwork, I'd take a ridiculous reduction in price as an alternative.

Only advice I would give is to never give rent reductions.

Reduction of expenses due to property upgrades or so forth.
