But it boils down to what would entice a cash investor? 

Starting with a duplex or 3 unit is enticing because the numbers get more predictable as you have less units, as well as management gets easier.

What do you offer that will make life easier and entice a person to decide to sell their home to you!

To entice the tenants to say, I wrote a formal letter acknowledging the difficult times and gave a promise to hold rents constant for the whole year - - that was effective - - no new move-outs.For the vacancies I did have (2), I took my time to find a Good Tenant vs just any tenant.

This should entice the seller to accept the lower amount as he is getting more money at closing with no risk of default on a 2nd mortgage.  

Additionally, the offer to increase your initial payment to entice a landlord also shows your commitment. 

This is all very enticing, but dropping $1497 ($1500) on an unproven product has proven to not be worth it. 

That was one reason I felt it was pretty enticing.

Ha.There's no amount of money that would entice me.

He can say anything he wants to entice the buyer, but without proof he can't back that up.He might be saying the unit is collecting that much rent for the year, but what if one unit was vacant half the year?
