Charge what you need but be sure and pay it off before the introductory rate expires. 

Instead of spending all day waiting in line for a few rides, pay to to 'skip the line' .

I can only conclude that someone with a lot of cash was getting anxious to deploy their money quickly and was willing to pay well above what the broker (and many buyers) thought it would sell for.Perhaps it is not such a bad time to sell!

You will need 20-25% down and a commercial loan for the rest.Most lenders will want to lend to an LLC with you personally guaranteeing the loan.Typically, each MFR would be purchased under its own LLC, for liability purposes.Each LLC would then also need its own bank accounts for collecting rents and paying expenses.

This means that you will probably need to pay registration and filing fees in at least 2 states if you don’t buy CA property as a CA resident.Any lawsuits should be limited to the assets of the LLC and not your personal assets (assuming you run the LLC appropriately and the corporate veil is not pierced, some debate as to SMLLC).

Then, in year 11, you will begin paying down the principle amount of the loan over 20 years. 

The landlord would have to pay unless the tenant was responsible somehow, which isn't the case here. 

Is there any way to avoid paying capital gains tax if I eventually sell?

A foreclosure/ auction/ etc. is going to give you the delta you need to make it pay off.

Or is it more due to the stereotypes around people on Section 8/the other tenants are paying a considerably lower amount every month?
