@Mark Creason  Bait and switch comes to my mind.. it gets you in the door then when you tell them for sure if we have not sold it in 29 days for 300k we will cut you a check for 200k No problem  LOL... guess who signs the listing agreement and probably declines the sales guarnetee part.

Thanks Mark (sirry the @ doesn't work on my phone).I feel like a duplex hits a sweet spot where you get a lot of space and privacy compared to a complex, especially if it's mixed in a SFH area.

I’m sure we can all agree that an appraiser can miss the mark and so having 2 objective experts establish the value protects your interests and keeps you from getting into a bad deal.

They have over a thousand dollars in fuel, and travel.2014 taxes: $18952015 taxes: $1900*Now, rent for the area on a 2/1 should be closer to the $550-$600 mark, depending on what the inside looks like.

If your bottom line was supposed to be a $7k mark-up for example, you can just tell them in future: "Sorry, $3k more and it's yours"!

I'm very attracted to deep value situations, which to me means gross cash flow generation above the 2% mark (to give a general metric).  

Which btw, we had found a year earlier in a real estate photo guide while we were still in our motel room and had marked down as dream house...But that's another story!!
