When we mention that we want to make 'low-ball' (albeit carefully calculated with investing in mind) offers and lots of them we don't get the hungry, enthusiastic response we have been looking for haha.Multiple episodes of the BP podcasts have individuals who have casually mentioned getting licensed like it's no big deal.  

What is important to me though is the risk and the return, not the price point (I personally wouldn't invest in low price point properties overseas and you can find more properties with a lower price point in the US).

If the inspection results indicate no major fixes are needed, it will have that going for it, plus it's located in a low crime area, and the target tenant for this kind of residence is less likely to trash the place (B+ neighborhood). 

If ARV is 138, and it only needs cosmetic work, why is purchase price so low?
