The fees were very low, but their service left a whole lot of room for improvement.Overall, the better the market, the harder it is to find a decent deal there (kind of like everything else on the MLS).

I'm fairly young so I'd like to rent out the additional rooms to generate income from rooms that would otherwise be vacant.

Also make sure you have another exit strategy, if you buy below market you'll have equity and will be able to easily sell in the future.Most deals on MLS aren't going to leave you much room, too little inventory and too much competition.  

I was able to owner finance and my favorite method was low down say a few grand.. and ZERO % interest carry with higher than normal payments but enough that the buyer could break even on cash flow if they managed them themselves...

If not separately metered, then I'd figure about $100/mo/unit for a grand total of $6000/year in utilities including water ($1000 less than what you've listed).Bottom line is that this makes a huge difference in your analysis so you need to find out before doing anything else.

You can, however, determine a price at which to list your home for sale by comparing your home to those in the area that have sold and those currently listed for sale.An example of things to look for would be as following...MARKET SALES ANALYSIS (COMPARABLES) SUBJECT PROPERTY ADDRESS ROOMS BDRMS BATHS GAR AGE STYLE SQ FT CONSTRUCTION FLOORS REMARKS PROPERTIES ON MARKET ADDRESS ROOMS BDRMS BATHS GAR AGE STYLE SQ FT CONSTRUCTION FLOORS LIST PRICE DAYS ON MARKET REMARKS PROPERTIES SOLD ADDRESS ROOMS BDRMS BATHS GAR AGE STYLE SQ FT CONSTRUCTION FLOORS LIST PRICE DAYS ON MARKET SALE DATE SALE PRICE PROPERTIES EXPIRED/CANCELLED/RE-LISTED ADDRESS ROOMS BDRMS BATHS GAR AGE STYLE SQ FT CONSTRUCTION FLOORS LIST PRICE DAYS ON MARKET REMARKS Recommended Price Range $ COMMENTS: Avg. of Sold Properties $ Avg. of Properties on Mkt. $ Avg. of Properties Expired/Cancelled $

Hey, South Florida wholesaler here, Yes, i think you should just pass on the deal or refer her to someone who does Short Sales assuming she qualifies for that, but they definitely no room to wholesale.Good Luck! 

If you're not 100% crystal clear on how the standard purchase contract works (and the consequences of a seller breaking that contract) in your state, it might be worth talking to a lawyer if you're looking at spending more than a few grand and one week (depending on your risk tolerance, etc).

Where there is a studio room on the top floor that I can leave vacant and go visit any time I want.
