But if the timing and/or the deal itself is NOT on your side, you probably know what you will be forced to do - which is exactly why "Wholesalers" have a tarnished reputation in the first place!

Obviously location, age, cap rates, forced appreciation, etc all come to play.

Due to tight lending standards, many people are forced to rent.

I think that if you are going to force altruism down other people's throats, then if there is one area where there exists a legitimate societal interest, then it is taking care of our sick.

Think of something that already has management in place so it's not on you to stabilize it from the start.If you'd really rather put the money in the stock market, but are forced to keep it in real estate, then I'd be looking at buying just one tri or quadplex in a desirable area (or commercial, if you're inclined) - those will run you over $1M and you can easily hire a property manager to handle it for you.  

The area is a A-B neighborhood, based on a 10 cap the price seems reasonable (comes out to 7.6 cap as is), the rents are a little low for 2 and 3 bedrooms but the kitchens and baths need updating so there is room for forced appreciation.

Easier on everyone to negotiate a move-out than to force one with eviction.Hard to read the small print in your post, but looks like you have a mix of different size units.

This distributes force exerted on the door more evenly.Buy heavy duty strike plates and install those.
