Knowing the rent will likely show up each month—even if the tenant has challenges—removes a lot of the uncertainty that can come with rentals.The people listing this apartment as a “Section 8 property” are likely trying to target buyers who value that stability.

Even though the FMRs are $730, I was conservative and used $600 for my Pro Forma- The current owner hasn’t raised them at all because he didn’t want any turnover- outside of cleaning and painting, no big costs- Not Section 8 

I believe IB requires an even longer notice.Best wishes.

All very unethical and sometimes charges are filed just to stop someone from continuing an unethical practice even though the underlying charges are not enough to win at prosecution.

Also, focus on 2 years of job/income stability.Class D Properties:Cashflow vs Appreciation: Typically, all cashflow with little, maybe even negative, relative rent & value appreciationVacancy Est: 20%+ should be used to cover nonpayment, evictions & damages.Tenant Pool: majority will have FICO scores under 560 (almost 30% probability of default), little to no good tradelines, lots of collections & chargeoffs, recent evictions.

Rates may still be high, but sometimes they’re more flexible with repayment options than a mortgage refi.Family Loan Structure: Since you have an existing interest-free loan from family, you could talk to them about restructuring or even adding onto it, if they’re open to it.

Plus is 4% even in line with market cap rates?

I assume you got a better interest rate, and I know you are saving a boatload of interest. 3) imagine year 11-30 where you are cash flowing thousands with paid off properties instead of hundreds because of these lean 10 years. 4) hopefully you can raise rents at least $100 each every year and in 2 years your cash flow neutral even with preferred short term mortgage. 

Even the tenant can sue you if they injure themselves.  

I say take a gamble for anyone in which its even possibly feasible for and trust they're process.
