Hey BPers,Got an offer accepted on a townhouse for a good price but it is a master on main (two bedroom, two bath). Now I'm beginning to think that I've never seen a master on main for rent in Atlanta. Does anyone hav...

This is pretty typical in value-add deals...not the strongest cash flow (sometimes none at all) in the first year and it ramps up from there.Funding capX out of cash flow is just a bad idea because the cash flow in the early years is already compromised due to the lower rents and if you don't have the money to do the improvements you never get out of the rut.There is another solution and that is to raise all the money in the beginning but don't call all of the capital at once. 

I have also looked at turn key companies, and have hurt good and bad things which is scary to me also.

The old PM said it sounded like a really bad clog.  

I think Part of this was bad time of the year to find renters (late Oct/Nov).

= bad deal.. is this right??

On the other, it does seem a little weird and I'd hate to find out later something bad has been going on.

Are the carpets bad?
