What terms are they offering?

I found a property, contacted an  agent, made an offer.

@Jack PinardSend me a PM and I can send you my resource guide - it doesn’t format correctly when I put it in here

I currently have a CPA (only handles taxes and offers standard tax deductions advice) and a wealth manager at Abacus (handles retirement investments and stocks- IRA, 401K, etc).

A monthly survey conducted by the University of Michigan that measures consumer sentiment and inflation expectations has affected yields and offered a data point for predicting Federal Reserve actions.Purchasing Managers Index (PMI)Another factor starting to gain steam in terms of affecting mortgage rates are various regional Purchasing Managers Index reports, which offer a glimpse into the health of the economy.

I have an offer out on a duplex but it needs a new roof.

What's the best way to beat an all cash offer as is with no contingencies and a quick closing?  

More expensive properties are less feasible for the resources we have available, but we are still looking.Definitely appreciate your thoughts and ideas here.

Both are older homes, the 3/3 was renovated in the 80s.2/1 home is prime candidate for a tandem house out back or teardown and convert to Rowhome zoning, (properties were recently rezoned just across the alley tandem homes, ADU already zoned ok) 3/3 is newer, on a double lot, but my thinking is that I could hold these for a while, go through the rezoning process and sell both if/when the neighborhood continues to get hot enough for more density building, possibly work with a contractor friend of mine to get going in this direction, or try to do construction of tandem home behind 2/2 and then adu behind 3/3 home.Are there any resources for spreadsheets or analysis specifically in this realm/that I could show my financiers to calculate the projections on this?

Particularly interested in investing in Columbus, Ohio and Tokyo or Fukuoka, Japan.Recently read a few books including Rich Dad, Poor Dad and Bigger Pocket's The Book on Rental Property Investing. and as a result have been looking more seriously into it.Although investing in the US seems pretty straight forward (especially as an American and with all the resources available), investing in Japan as a foreigner seems to be a bit tricky and not so black and white.
