Hey BP family,I am in contact with a motivated seller who owns 4 properties and wants to sell one because it's too much for her.

It keeps me motivated.

A 5%-7% cash on cash return is achievable.

If you can really achieve the 1% rule on such an expensive single family, then go for it, but the apartment cashflow sounds more realistic to me.   

@Linda RichardWelcome to the site.Hope you achieve your RE goals.

Those numbers might be achievable, but are they realistic?  

You can achieve the same deductibility without the corporations as well.  

The high estimate is something you are unlikely to ever achieve and shows you the theoretical limit of what the deal could bring.

Motivated sellers come to me.

Developing that trust with someone you don't know may seem like a challenge, but if you approach it correctly, you should be able to achieve a pretty solid foundation before you engage.One way to approach this is to look for investments with professional administration.
