@Travis Henry  Is the water billed back to the tenant or do you factor it into the price of the rent? 

Don't forget to factor in loan closing costs.Another note: if you fix it as a "flip" the property is going to be worth a higher ARV.

My tenant text me this morning to let me know that it looks like water is still coming from the unit.

The main factor likely has to do with the lack of access provided by the owner/tenants.

Good Morning...Today is Tuesday and being much like any other typical day in the real estate investment biz my mind is focused on what I can bring to my team in terms of work output, creating new leads and overall productivity.

You need to look at a bunch of factors - ARV, GRM, DSCR, Cap rate, EM, CoC ROI and so on.

In my area I wouldn't buy a 1947 house with a basement water problem.I understand there may be other factors that may make this a good deal though for you.Obviously there are things you could do, such as ensure gutters are unclogged and draining away, or dig up all around the house and sand blast the outer walls and coat them and install gravel all along the exterior walls, or put in an exterior sump, or have trenches cut all around the basement perimeter inside the house to collect water and then pump it out, or you could even toss away some $ by painting the basement walls and floors with special thick paint, but why make any of those steps your problem?

I'd start an eviction tomorrow morning and don't let her off the hook.  

It's a combination of several factors.
