The owner recently passed away and his kids are unloading this and a few other properties.Asking: $145,000Monthly income: $2,335 (1br is $685, 2br is $800, 3br is $850)I could probably bring those up slightly, but wouldn't want to if they were good tenants.New roof put on 3 years ago.

The cash you bring to closing is your deferred down payment.

The owner could sell it for $60K and bring a check for $50K to closing.

What a great set of skills and experience to bring to the table as an investor.

How much because I stand a chance to lose my deposit unless I bring in a transactional funding lender to fund A/B

I know as investor you have to bring something to the table so that's why I explained if any leads I don't use I can pass to them or do some assistant work because I know their time is valuable.

If the numbers work from a cash flow perspective, your buyers may take them.Which brings me to a better answer.

Sorry I wasn't specific on what would give you the most bang for the buck you will find that the appraiser will use his experience in the neighborhood and bring your property in at a level reflected by the quality of improvement over similiar properties.

If somebody's sales pitch SCREAMS all of the stereotypical Guru catch phrases - does that automatically mean they aren't bringing any value to the table?

But I am hopeful that I can bring the seller down to earth with time.
