I think i will respectfully have to disagree with you analogy about buying stock vs buying real estate in area where you visit/have friends or family.

Ok- 2 wealthy (and respected) people choose to spend their disposable income different ways.  

All of these came through extensive networking and staying in touch with ongoing communication with the respective individuals.

At the minimum you should file complaint with respective boards about Buyer Agent not doing his/her duty.

@Lisa Alexander House hacking in Hudson County is a great way to break into real estate investing, especially in this current market environment with inflated home prices and ultra-low interest rates for owner-occupied properties.

Hey Dale, thanks for responding.I respect your opinion in regards to the "The" in The Ohio State University, but I most certainly did not say it to belittle any school or individual.

Might as well be on different planets since our respective real estate markets are vastly different. 

3- do you check my personal credit, what is minimum score, do you report to credit bureaus ( the answer should be no ) as the investment property qualifies not you as an individual.4- what is you DCR ( debt coverage ratio) and ARV ( after repair requirements ) normally 1.25 and 70% respectively, although it can vary from 65-80%.5-IMPORTANT- what are your seasoning requirements after property is repaired and stabilized...

These two deals should yield 10% and 11% respectively (cap rate) from the get-go!

I need help analyzing this deal to see if it would be good, as it seems to me that  assuming a 4.5% interest rate on a 15 yr note or 5% on a 30 year note results in 192 monthly or 185 monthly, respectively, INCLUDING taxes and a rough estimate of 600/year insurance (which shouldnt be the case as my other properties albeit being newer and much more expensive pay 600/year)So... if I assume I end up paying full ask and CC's....Rent:        +  550Debt:        -  107   (or 152 @ 15yr)Taxes:      -    30Ins
