- What property class is the rental (A, B, C, D)?  

I would say that a great thing any flipper can do is develop their own off-market properties.

I asked if they would consider seller financing on the property and they said, “yes”.

When I closed on my first duplex in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania in August 2017, "the 2% Rule" was the gold standard for determining whether a property would cash flow.  

So you're buying a property 'normally'. 

I have decided to partner up with another investor to buy this property together.

I want to buy & hold appreciating properties in neighborhoods where I can find decent tenants.

The key is to create an amazing property, in a great location, then manage and market it better than the sub-par property managers in the area. 

When operators mention employer names or area amenities, they should look at where their actually tenants work and pitch that vs just big name companies whose employees might not ever live in the building.They always pitch no capital calls, but will be interesting to see how investors fair after inhouse loans will be paid off to the properties they needed to do that with. 

As a San Jose licensed property manager and investor, a 5% flat fee can be reasonable depending on the property.
