Quote from @Aaron Fuller: Walk away.Rents could "likely" be raised to $8,000?

Perhaps it has something to do with the statistical average where in Australia, if you are borrowing 75% on property in the cities or suburbs, it is almost impossible to get positive cash flow ANYWHERE, whereas BP subscribers are aware that in MANY parts of the USA, the opposite is true.

My second question is do I get a more energy efficient and raise rents but now include heat in their monthly rent?

Let me know if you'd like an intro.On the investment property piece, watch out for the investment property tax rates in SC if youre not already aware of them. 

No evictions, no turnover, and have not raised rents (honestly feel like I'm near the upper end already). 

This ensures that when the borrower exits, the title company is aware of the JV agreement, further protecting the investor’s interests.I’m just blown away at how hard it is to find people to do this since it quite honestly is a solid deal with the ins-and-outs planned out already. 

Make sure you get professional photos because the bar has really been raised for midterms over the last year. 

Not a war zone, but too many empty houses.

There are less renters now so OP might need to compromise on the lease cost, so imo I would rent it at an attractive price now, and in 6 months raise the rent to market.

Given the seller owns both properties it’s quite obvious they were aware.
