While it is true that listings cost money to market properly, I will not turn one down IF it is priced properly.

You need to find out if the tenants gave proper notice, though, and what your lease says.

A properly buyer leveraged wholesaler can make money in any market without risk or even the need for credit or cash.

It may not be anything for a simple duplex, but you could be causing yourself problems that a simply refurbishing and expanding the existing structure could avoid.

New owner now has a lein on property and can not sell it without paying the lein off, even though the debt was not their responsibility.Original owner/developer should have had language in the contract that states that all subcontractors invoices must be paid in full and proff of which to be presented prior to receiving payment.This is one of MANY problems that can occur without the proper contracts and contingencies.

Chris thanks for the info, chris i also found out that my thoughts were correct.there is no set value, the value of the property is based on what makes sense for you to achieve your investment goals (that's it).some will say to not rely on the cap rate for your purchase decision (which i agree), but to use it to compare to other similar properties that have sold in the area, which is actually not reliable because 1. there will be less comparables, 2. how properties were purchased vary from deal to deal, 3. the inner workings of most transactions are confidential.so the best way to analyze a deal (while using cap rates) is to add your financing terms into the picture (principal + interest and etc) and calculate what the deal is really worth to you.see the normal NOI/Asking price = cap rate is based on if someone were to pay all cash, this is the return they could expect first year, but paying all cash for a property doesn't happen all that often (bank funding will be use for a large portion of that cost).so i found the best way to use this formula and analyze my deals is by look at all factors but also including my financing terms with my desired return objectives into the picture to get a proper view and value to me.

We would like to expand our land base, we have purchased 200 additional acres in the last year, and there has been another 600+ come for sale since then.

I believe that Todd Morgan is clean, but he does not do proper due diligence on who he is associating himself to and he is just getting a piece of each referral, from what I can tell.

After you gain some experience you can look to expand your holdings.
