The typical 2-4 unit I represent buyers on we are able to increase rents 40-100% especially in gentrified areas.

I don't think the typical sub-to deal would lead to equity skimming because they are likely close to foreclosure and there isn't enough time to rent the unit back out and make money allowing the unit to go to foreclosure.

@Ezra Avery you might want to read below to understand Classes of Property/Tenants.Property Class will typically dictate the Class of tenant you get, which greatly IMPACTS rental income stability and property maintenance/damage by tenants.If you apply Class A assumptions to a Class B or C purchase, your expectations won’t be met and it may be a financial disaster.If you buy/renovate a property in Class D area to Class A standards, what quality of tenant will you get?

We saw huge appreciation in the 2018-2022 inflation run up, but that has significantly slowed these days in my opinion.From a rental perspective your monthly income per unit after all expenses with a typical 20% down payment is likely $100-300 when you find a property that will cash flow.

Typically I see it on anything over 5 acres. 

Closing costs typically range from 2 to 5 percent of the total loan amount, and they include fees for the appraisal, title insurance and origination and underwriting of the loan.”When it comes to closing costs, a trusted lender can guide you through specifics and answer any questions you may have.
