The units are unique, as is the situation of having three separate buildings on a single property, which is why I believe it sat on the market as long as it did despite the attractive rent roll.

MLS - Several deals fell through because due to uniqueness of the property appraisers couldn't comp it for conventional residential financing.

I understand the DC metro area is a unique market and very highly priced making it hard to cash flow.

Personally I dont think wholesalers should try to run those kinds of numbers for an investor because every investor has their own unique circumstances and should be responsible for running their own numbers.

In my residential experience, the tenant is paying the agent's full commission / fee / whatever they agree to.I might consider it, if I had a very unique situation and the home was extremely hard to rent.In the commercial space, this is standard practice. 

I think you are in a unique position sort of like myself. 

The lawyer we use for our syndications has a very unique way of structuring the deal using a TIC arrangement so if you're at all interested, please PM me, I'd love to chat.

IRR is all about finding the unique discount rate that takes into account the timing and amount of ALL of the cash flows.

I want to do a number of these a year for two reasons: 1) I want to build a fast-track multi-family portfolio of larger apartment complexes. 2) I can make each one beautiful and unique before selling it to someone who falls in love with it.I realize how much can be made from doing this.

Alternatively, the duplex would cash flow around $200/month (unique side by side duplex that’s the owner added another garage/addition/deck on the owner occupied side we would live in) if and when we moved out (we have one child and are ok with having our 2nd in the duplex, but 3 would most definitely be too cramped, and we would forced to look for a SFH while renting out both sides of the duplex).Thoughts?
