Based on reading recent insights from Start Packing Up and Jax Daily Record, there are indicators from January of this year that Jax's real estate market has been going through ups and downs.

@Seena NassiriI'm based in the Bay Area with a lot of clients that own rental properties out-of-state so I think I can answer this question with creditability. 

Wish it were true, but every lender bases their rates off of Sofi or 10 yr Treasury, etc. 

For this example we will use 70% For this formula you will need to know the following:ARV=After Repair Value ( How much will the house will sell for after making all the repairs needed)Repair Estimate - (Send me a message and I can send you a list I got from my mentorship class for ball park estimates based on square footage and depending if you need cosmetic repairs, avarage repairs or Extreme repairs)Your Assigment FeeARVx.70 - Repairs - Your Assignment FEE = Max OfferExample$200,000 x .70 = $140,000 - $30,000 (repairs) - $10,000 (your profit) = $100,000 (offer)Your potential profit is $10,000 I hope this formula helps you make offers that will make sense for all involved in the transaction.Happy Wholesaling,Lily Rodriguez - Investor friendly Broker

If the property has publicly serviced sewer, which is most times billed based on the number of gallons of water used, by using sub meters, we now have the information we need to pass along the sewage charges.

I can see why some lenders wouldn't like it since it would cut them out of a deal, but I would guess this is a very niche market based on downpayment size to make up the difference.

I am not endorsing him but for thirty bucks and a quick read do that before you shell out tens of thousands for an asset protection advisor or some other fear based sales pitch.  

This perspective is quite common in the MF sector, especially where sales comparisons are largely based on the asset's condition and financial performance (NOI which leads to a cap rate).When comparing two properties with similar capital expenditure needs, the industry standard is to evaluate them based on a cap rate.

I've been burned before so I'd rather walk away from a deal with a tenant like this, yet they seem like a very good candidate match based on their current portfolio.

I don't even know if a Japanese resident can get a mortgage on a commercial property that's not based on his/her personal income as the value of the asset is at a high risk of depreciation and the LTV would increase over time and go over 100%.
