The next time some non-landlord posts in this forum about how bad low-income -housing fixer slumlords should feel for taking advantage of our C/D-class tenants, I'm going to try not to jump down their throat, but no promises. 

The issue is that I am receiving a lot of low ball offers, where agents say "you will make 100k on it anyway", as opposed to what I can really make (200k).

So far all of our low end purchases such as these have been cash.

The major one is, they have low paid inexperienced agents. 

Do you put more weight on long-term price appreciation (with better tenants on average)?

Stay out of debt (completely out of debt)Get your degree (While on active duty it's free and you don't touch your GI bill) Buy low cost index fundsBuy some high risk stocksSave save save save saveRead every real estate book you can get your hands onPlay it out over 20 years.

Maybe buy the home, sit on it, by living in it or renting it, and let Prop 13 keep my taxes low until death inheritance to my kids. 

When we mention that we want to make 'low-ball' (albeit carefully calculated with investing in mind) offers and lots of them we don't get the hungry, enthusiastic response we have been looking for haha.Multiple episodes of the BP podcasts have individuals who have casually mentioned getting licensed like it's no big deal.  

An option to purchase combined with a reduction in purchase price from rent is a recipe for that tenant to claim they have an equitable interest in the property. 

What is important to me though is the risk and the return, not the price point (I personally wouldn't invest in low price point properties overseas and you can find more properties with a lower price point in the US).
