I have only bought perhaps half a dozen listed properties but I have done well upwards of 500 deals.

Even if we have just half that appreciation -- 6% is the average year-over-year appreciation for the last 45 years -- then you're looking at $34,000 in equity gain.

I am going to cut her asking price in half.

There are 2 half baths as well. 

Everyone from all over the country (as you can tell by the forum posts) are looking at Greensboro, NC as a cash flowing market.You may have an advantage being from Greensboro, NC because you may know of an off market deal, but aside from that, I struggle to think that you would be able to find an MLS, small multifamily deal that needs little work that is less than 200k.Maybe something you could do is draw a circle on Zillow at approximately 120 miles around Durham, NC and look for properties that fit your criteria (small multifamily, less than 200k).Then you could maybe find some areas where those criteria are possible and see if you would be interested investing in those areas.Hope that helps!

Cars were lined up for over a mile to get to the station; we took the bypass and when we got in there, all of the pumps were closed except 2 and the manager and the division manager - another jerk - were out there running around trying to service this line of cars.

It will probably add half that in value to the house. 

Burnet , TX : Looking to buy a small a 10 unit apartment Building, had some questions about the placeIs it a good market to be in.what are the rental demand  like usually here.it seems to be 50 miles from Austin , would there be any upside of that or is it too crazy to think people commute from here to austin for work.

I just recently closed on my first single family house a month and a half ago, and I've already found another good deal on a single family.

She initially put 10 K down payment, manager got half and we got half.
