Has about a 75% success rate and I have learned (and I hope given some good tips myself) to others that ive met up with due to that and people are always looking for future partners and to learn from one another.

Above 5+ units is possible but more challenging and rates are where you would expect them..50-65%LTV will be common for higher plex units, a common workarounds is if they have a US based family member or business partner with an LLC..Some investors or lenders have specific countries of origin that are restricted or even prohibited, check with your mortgage professional. 

What has been the vacancy rate?

I place only used and would never pay for a new stove or refrigerator.I simply keep my eyes out for good working stoves and fridges and usually have a couple spares on hand and if something goes down that is not an easy fix I just grab the trailer and dolly and exchange it.And in my area you can find working white stoves and single fridges for $100.00 each if you pick it up yourself.Wow, that is cheap.

The CMA is right on the sale price - My payments to the seller includes a 25 year amoritization rate, so my monthly "mortgage" to the seller(300k with interest) is greater than their current mortgage. (200k with the same interest rate)- Going the regular financing route (25% down) is not desirable since I would need to dip into my primary residence HELOC for the downpayment.

Most of our current inventory qualifies for a 4.25 to 4.75% intrest rate and can acquired with as little as 5% down.  

This is how I analyze risks and make risk-adjusted return decisions:Identify the Risk: Vacant units could be a sign of high vacancy rates. 

It's cheap and quick and well worth it when you expand.

Rental rates will likely remain close to their “sticky” highs, especially after the recent corrections seen in quasi-oversupplied markets and consumers will have to pull back elsewhere.Excluding shelter, core inflation has actually been at 2% for some time now.
