Zoning, what utilities are in place or are available, easements, views,  and what a buyer would intend to use the property for are all important factors. 

I started the process of serving the 3 day notice on the 2nd and had the return date this morning. 

Unfortunately, there is no shock factor for me on this one. 

Probable if you have more than 4-5 people at most and lots of "silent" partners if would be much safer to formally syndicate.If those two factors are in line might make sense to draw the line at a certain purchase price, Unit count or expected NOI.

Land has a lot of factors that can have a huge difference on the value.  

Not necessarily on interest rate, but on other factors like interest only period, Prepayment penalty and floating rate versus balloon payment.

I think that buying it off-market will save me the 6% realtor fees though I do have to factor in the wholesaler fee.I still would like to spend more time looking at the potential rental income but I don't think I'm too far off. 

. $9,450. 30-year fixed, Interest Rate: 5% Rental Income: $3,900 We will be living in one of the units, but for the sake of the analysis I am going to calculate both units as rental income and factor in my costs at the end.2 Unit: $1,600 + 3 Unit: $2,300 = $3,900/moTotal Expenses: $2,832 Operating Expenses: $1,434/moMortgage Expenses: $1,398/moResults Monthly Cash Flow: $1,067/moMy Unit’s Rent: - $1,600/moOur Cost of Living: -$533 / 2 house hackers = $266/mo.Biggerpockets Property Rental AnalysisIn conclusion, if this house hacking plan is accurate and realistic, I would cut my monthly living costs from $850/mo to $233 (excluding utilities), and would have purchased my first rental property.

I suggested we re-pour the driveway, and factor the cost into the total expenses for the flip, my wife disagrees. 

Good morning BP!
