Since I'm not based in Pittsburgh, I'd need you to send me the dimensions.... but if there's someone locally who you can hire to measure your units and provide a 2D floor plan, that would make things a lot easier!

Their portfolio page had a project that I was familiar with and based on what I knew I didn't think they could have been involved with it.

We've gotten loans from banks on properties based on their market rent.

Successful investors often diversify their strategies based on the specific circumstances of each investment.

@Neil Wei Hi Neil, unfortunately with rates and then with the Boston region being what it is you aren't going to see large CoC (CoC is a pretty tough metric to base decisions on here in Boston anyways, as very little will really make sense just focusing on that).

But on the LP side, a base hit can leave you with a very modest return (if not a modest loss).

Based on what you have in cash and also in debt, I would speak with a few mortgage brokers to see what you could qualify for while leveraging your money so you could scale.

Here's a suggested approach:Verify Rent Increase:Request a rent roll from the seller to cross-verify rental history.You can ask the current tenant for confirmation, ensuring transparency and avoiding surprises.Contact Existing Tenant:Communicate directly with the current tenant to discuss the property and their intentions.Understand their perspective on the rent increase and their willingness to stay.Reason for Previous Buyer Backing Off:It's reasonable to ask the seller or their agent about the reason the previous buyer backed off.This can provide insights into potential issues or concerns with the property.Negotiate and Due Diligence:If you're still interested after clarifying these aspects, negotiate based on your findings.Consider conducting your due diligence, including a thorough inspection and possibly consulting a local property manager for insights.Evaluate Costs and Risks:Assess the costs associated with potential repairs and factor in the risk of the increased rent being accurate.Weigh these costs against the reduced purchase price and potential future returns.Remember, due diligence is crucial in real estate.

I make sure to pay him within the week of the work, and make sure to file the invoices away for reference and taxes.In my opinion this is the best option, since you never know how much you will use him/her in one months time, they should be paid per job bases; however, the busier you get you can bring them on as a retained handyman.
