If it's in a high tax /flood area taxes and insurance could easily be 5-6k or half that then with title insurance points and closing it could make senseWhat is the breakdown ?

Here are a few things that I like about the neighborhoods in Indy compared to other states: high rent-to-home-value ratio, consistent and gradual city development, relatively low property tax and insurance cost, affordable renovation service cost.

You can try and fight it but does not mean you will be successfulI would also be curious to see what your property insurance looks likeFor me this is just another example that home prices are gonna eventually have to soften as between taxes, insurance and Interest rates home affordability is very challenging

Zillow also hs a "Make Me Move" feature you can click on to see home owners listing their property in hopes of a good offer.I have also seen peopl reach out tp local AFL Assisted living facilities to talk to the Admin or on boarding nurse to see if ay families or people need to sell their home to cover costs.

And given #3 above, it leaves about 20% of rent for all other expenses like property tax, insurance and other PM expenses like leasing fee, eviction fee and other minor expenses like for e.g landscaping, pest control etc.

What's more, these contracts were never recorded before or during the foreclosure process, and the homeowner was actually in default on the first mortgage when they entered into these agreements.

The only part that Property 1 pays on that loan is the escrow for property tax & insurance for Property 1.Thank you for your insight.You need to look at purchase price to determine cost basis, not how you financed the purchase.

Anyone speaking in "sure-thing / simple" terms, I call BS. 

Also, this would only remove the mortgage debt itself from your DTI if it was to work; you would still be hit with a liability for the annual taxes, insurance, and HOA fees (but also receive the benefit of the rental income).

How much is insurance of these properties?
