From the PM's I've talked to, you generally want to buy in an area where you can attract tenants with income that is 3X the monthly rent (2.5X on the low end).

How do I attract a cash buyer to this home?  

It was adjacent to some other properties that we manage, so the efficiencies and economies of scale were attractive.

First, Chicago is extremely tenant friendly, so if you are investing in C or D areas which can only attract poorer credit, lower income or subsidized tenants, you WILL (I promise) have problems with getting all your money, property maintenance, and lost rents.

Pittsburgh real estate investors and those wanting to live in vibrant areas might be attracted to the developments that this city has planned starting this year.

Please note, in the event of a legitimate lawsuit we do have liability insurance to cover any claims.This is an attempt to design a lifestyle and not necessarily the best mathematical return.  

So to conclude, diluting a real estate portfolio with negative cash flow property by design makes no sense to me. }

These programs are designed to give you a leg up when you're down.

Especially if you can lock up some attractive owner financing might be icing on the cake.
