I'm buying the apartment cash but I'm short 10 to 15K.   

How do I approach a potential buyer/real estate investor or as they refer to them "cash buyers"?

If you are dropping the price then it is worth following up on.

We were promised our investment back in January and cash flow and investors haven’t seen a dime yet.sticking to the s&p500 - this was all a mistake.  

If the refund was an additional $1,000, you may have to question if it was worth it.If you did a DIY Cost seg, you likely paid around $600If you went the other route, you likely paid $2,500+The cost to the accountant to prepare the amended return was likely $500+

So I’m trying to figure out if paying the extra 200k for a 3 bed is even worth the investment since annual gross is so close.

Sounds shady...In other words, instead of bringing in cash you're putting up equity, nearly the same as cash.

So many benefits, yes the fees are higher but many investors have come to the realization that the extra costs associated with the commercial mortgages are 100% worth it. 

Here's a look at the median list price over the last 5 years for Columbus, Cleveland, St Louis, and Detroit.These markets are all kicked around a lot for people looking for cash flow.

We usually bill our owner's via cash rather than accrual (IE our July owners statement for an owner has their July revenue minus expenses paid in July) but the owners get confused when the cleans don't line up to the stays, so had to train our bookkeeper to include the July cleans on the July statement even though that invoice was paid in August, which is different than how all the non-cleaner invoices are handled.
