Each unit has two bedrooms.The average rent for a two bedroom in the location that I'm buying ranges from $750 to $900.These are my calculation:1st unit - 750 (tenant pay utilities)2nd unit - 850basement - 600 Monthly Income - 2,200Annual Income - 26,400Loan - 20 years at 4.50 %Down Payment - 20%Taxes - 4,100 The building needs some cosmetic repair nothing major so far.

Your best bet is to make 10-20 offers and be satisfied if any of those offers come to fruition.

Underwriters (and appraisers) will want to see improvements that substantiate the price increase, and if you didn't do any work, you won't be able to provide that.In these cases, an end-buyer with cash is your best bet...

How accurate is the Mortgage Calculator?

With mortgage rates this low, I bet you will make a lot more money in the end.

I would bet had the robosigning thing not take place, you'd see the judicial states running about the same rates as the non-judicial states - meaning a fairly decent decrease year over year.I also wonder how these would look if you added short sales to the mix.

If we do need to honor the lease by law, is cash for key our best bet?

I bet the taxes are also calculated based on owner-occupied (you living in one side).

As for getting them out, agree that your best bet is to get a lawyers advice.

I bet that change alone and you see a big difference.
