(I lived in two duplexes and turned one of my residences into a duplex as I was building my portfolio and those were mostly 1% deals)  If however you think the appreciation on that property will be far faster/higher than others expect then it might be worth a leaner deal at 1%, but appreciation plays are mostly speculation/gambling.  

It had gotten very close to freedom.When I told the tenants what we’d found “in there,” the lady of the house let out a shrill yet guttural sound that I can’t replicate with words.

Today I got a phone call from a lady regarding to one of my bandit signs.

Hi Team,Background: I had my first rental property(in Texas) rented back in 2013 with a single lady.

Hey Gents (and ladies if appropriate)... not sure how many of you follow KSL but someone has 2 fourplexes listed in South Salt Lake for $325,000, rent roll somewhere in the $5,500 range.

It is a gamble for both parties, but a good solution if the seller has no equity.Florida homes may depreciate as some of the other sand states, like CA, NV and AZ.Offer to pay minor maintenance to entice the seller, but only 1st 100 dollars or so.

The lady on the phone sounded confused and said" investing?

I don't know much about the lady or her program but the key concept in wholesaling is finding a deal where you can enter for less than you can exit, thus creating an arbitrage between your purchase price and your sale price.

"She is a very pretty young lady.."

It's great to list some points as to why selling direct may be beneficial, but CRE owners will be a lot more numbers-savvy than wholesale a SFH from a little old lady.
