There is no easy or cost effective (or time effective) way to make your landlord perform (rent to you).  

I save a third of its cost, so my return is over 15% a year at worst, and 33% at best. 

This is all done prior to closing and on the first few deals that you perform with them.I had a deal go down hill because when I went to visit one of the sellers (I meet them through the wholesaler) he did not seem to be the right fit for who should be selling the properties to us, and that was discovered on the inspection report and relationship he had with the tenants that were in the homes at the time.

It has a lot of vacancies, about a third, which affects the numbers of income/expenses.I'm mostly learning how to analyze this since it's over my budget, so don't stress out over me buying this.
