At the moment, have plenty of financial glide path, so don't need the equity of the current Investment prop, but had planned to owner finance (extra monthly income flow @7%, fluff... more income not required to eat, clothe, house. ).1) Cursory look indicates 30% max AGI can be deducted if deferred to Charity.

I never recommend out-of-state investors buy anything for less than about $55-75k all-in or, generally, it will be in an area that has a mediocre tenant pool with high turnover and bad turns when they leave; the price to rent ration doesn't matter when these items eat up your profit year after year.For multis, it's a little different, but I typically ask them to focus on units that rent for about $500-550 minimum to have an easy time managing them and finding quality tenants. 

The buyer Agents in this space will need to adapt, or the Elite Agents with teams will eat their lunch. 

Anyone who backs out of the deal last second should be forced to eat vegemite 

Eat whole, unprocessed food. 

Of course one thing you don't have to worry about with arbitrage is capital expenses and maintenance, which can eat up the profit quickly. 

To be frank, if Engelo p'd me off or did anything nefarious I'd be the 1st one to tell him to eat it and I think he knows that. ....But I've got to state the obvious here.

For $30k it is going to be tough to find a lender for that low amount as underwriting will eat up 10% of that amount.

@James Wise Happy to see that you gotta eat S%#@ sometimes hahaHave you learnt to like the flavor mate?

Take a “break even” sale before interest, utilities, taxes, insurance eat you up?
