It comes down to what your pro forma is, and what lenders are willing to lend on the property.75k per unit for 550 in rents in Dayton is probably over valued, especially if there is deferred maintenance.

What is you guys best ways to find true private lenders not "brokers". 

If it's not in writing, it's unlikely to be true.Even if true, the seller didn't disclose it, so their ethics are questionable.

What made you interested in investing in this type of deal?

Does anyone know of any banks in or around the August Ga area that will work with out of state investors?

well 70% of 455ks isnt much more than you currently owe at 283k the 70% of 455k is 318.5k and after closing items you might only net 20-30k tops (new loan minus current 283k - closing items = net proceeds in "hand.").So The question you should be thinking about is what are my closing items and is this enough cash to accomplish my mission/goal?

When I was investing, this is what I did to help locate the right wholesaler - I would supply them VERY specific details of what WORKS for me in the way of a property.

Are you aware of anyone offering this service in ATL?

How did you finance this deal?

Like many (most) small business owners especially in this high interest rate environment, we have to use make extensive use of our personal credit rather than using extremely expensive business credit.
