Lower cash flow rates are a common side affect of the BRRRR strategy.  

It would seem hard to negotiate a lower asking price if the seller needs to sell for what was owed on the house.

There aren't many 2 car garages in the area that are this usable (some are mostly unusable).Initial Repairs: $7-10k (mainly new paint, carpet, lower cabinets in the kitchen, glass block in basement and upstairs bathroom, updating bathroom)Expected Rent: $700/mo (probably doing Section 8)Expenses = $310/mo (based on items below).10% Property Management: $70/mo10% repairs/maintenance: $70/moRE Taxes: $35/moInsurance: $57/mo10% Cap X: $70/moI've used different real estate calculators but since they ask for the information differently I seem to be getting different numbers for my cash on cash returns and cash flow.

The building does have quest water lines that are all behind drywall except when they connect to fixtures and appliances.It would be expensive to repipe this as a lot of drywall would have to be cut and then repaired.I know it's a risk to wait for a leak to start and then to repair just that section.I'm getting an ok buy price and the seller won't go any lower.
