If you can uncover thier problem then you can offer a solution. 

You have to uncover those yourself. 

I've very successfully renegotiated the price after inspections uncovered issues.

If you uncover any concerning issues you can go over them with the applicants before signing.I'd also recommend going through the lease, explaining any important restrictions and the penalties.

We put it up for sale on Craigslist for $300 a couple days ago and had someone pick it up today and buy it for $250.That made mew think that with all of the active investors we have here on BP, some of you must have some cool or not so cool "treasures" you uncovered while rehabbing homes. 

Or is there a formula to blend the down payment received in Year 1 and the principal received each year thereafter over a 30 year period to calculate the capital gains. 

I just think NYC has a particular blend of ridiculous things to keep it special.

These are not always readily available, but when they become available they could turn out to be terrific buys.I've always focused on value add and opportunistic investments in commercial, but having developed an interest in MF recently I've started to uncover more and more MF value add properties in the markets we're focused on for acquisitions.Buying them requires more hands on commitment other than simply management, but the value enhancement can be significant. 

I share the properties between the providers and can gauge their performance and price.The responses are great and they cover items within the infrastructure such as AC/heater,electrical, plumbing, garage door etc.If there is anything uncovered that needs to be fixed, my broker connects me with local handy men or professionals to take care of those issues.One of the providers, https://www.ahs.com/ charges $75 per call. 

This can result in reduced risk and blended performance across all the properties in the fund, and can also create the opportunity for compounding returns by reinvesting cash flow distributions back into the fund.With all that said, passive investors are exposed to both deal risk and sponsor risk.
