Their daily reports which characterize Ammon Bundy, Pete Santilli and the rest of the Bundy camp as being gun-toting revolutionaries looking to shoot government agents is not only a blatant lie, representative of the worst of yellow journalism, but Fox and CNN are the propaganda arm of this administration’s desire to overturn the Bill of Rights while they impose their “Bill of Wrongs”" - Again Fox News being part of a liberal movement to supplant the constitution?

I now own a house on a list to be torn down and even if I wanted to appeal the chances are very slim it would be overturned.

I wanted some guidance from more experienced investors to see if I may be forgetting something with this current potential deal.Units: 3 x 3 bed Price: $255,000DownPayment: 5% Renovations: $2500 Interest: 3.5% + 0.8% PMI - estimated I have very good credit so from previous pre-approvals can expect this ratePoints: 1.5% - estimatedRents: 3 units - $950, $900, $850 - estimated based on areaTaxes: $3174Utilities: estimated at $225 per month - likely on the high end hereInsurance: $2000 per year - estimatedMaintenance: $50 per month - estimatedVacancy: 7.5%Long term maintenance: 10% for large capital expense - roof, water heater, etc.Property Management: 10% - I don't intend to use property management but for future potential I'd like to budget it inWith this I expect to cashflow $1966 before taxes, $1415 after taxes, for a 10% CoC and 7% ROE. 

I wouldn't your ROE is too low plus Portland is too tenant friendly.

Here in Florida, a bank can acquire a property through foreclosure sale and later the sale is overturned for many reasons.

That's a Return on Equity (ROE) of ~5%, which is terrible.

Can I achieve the rents or sales required to justify the development (I like 100% ROE, or 35%+ leveraged returns. 

Analyze ROE, ROI(w/Cash on Cash), NOI, Bottom Line Cash Flow, Entrance and Exit Cap.

You're getting a 7.2% Return on Equity (ROE), which is...meh.
