A quarter percent rate difference here, a $10k difference in price there ... 

Here are the details of the property:- Leased until July 2025: $1400 and $1450 per unit per month- Built: 1930's- Zoned O-2Information in the Rental Report:- Vacancy rate: 5%- Purchase Price: $310,000- Repairs and maintenance: 7%- CapEx: 5%- Property tax: $3,600 per year- Insurance: $2,400 per year- Roof: Broker mentioned it doesn't need immediate attention but will likely need replacement soon (~$15,000).- Cash flow: The report shows a $177 monthly cash flow.- Condition: The house is completely renovated.

The real kick in the pants is that EVEN IF the doomsday scenario occurred, since the price point is so low the property would still cash flow as a SFR - but the underwriters don't want to hear that. 

Fair pricing, with timely & quality work!

Indianapolis is a great market to get started in with affordable pricing.

I wouldn't say "cut costs" necessarily, but what we've found works really well is setting our prices for each job our contractors do.

The NAR Settlement doesn't mean buyer agents won't get paid, it just means they need to be more transparent about it.Like others have said, your best bet to purchase with lower fees and overall better price is to prospect and find motivated sellers.
