At $800k sale price, the Marathon property would still produce a 6-cap, definitely not as appealing from a pure investment standpoint, but there are other reasons to consider buying even at that price...see image below:)  @John D.

It’s somewhat easier to do if you’re a pure investor, a little, or a lot more difficult if investing IS your business.

What I mean by that is that you’re banking purely on property appreciation, which cannot he predicted or guaranteed.

The most profitable investments on LTR that I have seen from a purely CoC perspective have been SFH rent by the room situations (for LTR).

Later in the year I will be doing this again to find a pure rental.

If it is a pure rental property, having 2 renters  gives you a little assurance that if one side of the unit is empty, you can still earn income off the other side to help cover your expenses.  

That would pay for the units in about a year and everything after that is pure profit.

Maybe that isn't the ideal business decision from a pure dollars and cents standpoint, but it is never bad to be kind.

My comments are purely based on what was posted as to technique, methods of dealings, and obvious intentions as stated.

Are the making up for the low conversion strategy by pure volume of cold calls that they make each week?
