Here are the key data points:Park info  Located in Alabama61 lots25 owner occupied homes18 park owned homes (14 currently rented; 4 currently being repaired and should be rented soon)18 vacant lotsAvg lot rent - $160 (unknown what the market rate is but it doesn't sound like there has been a rent increase in at least a year, maybe more)Avg POH rent - $400Expense ratio - seller claims 26% but I'm estimating 35% for the lots and 50% for the POH'sCity water - individually meteredSeptic - good condition (allegedly); a couple were pumped last year, none this year (no lagoon thank heavens)Seller claims gross income $130k, expenses $30k, and NOI $100kI calculated gross income of ~$135k, expenses of $60k (55% on POH and 35% on lot rentals), and NOI of $75kOther infoMom & pop seller, but park is listed with a brokerPark has been on the market for > 3 years (recent price reduction)Greater metro area stats look goodPopulation = 115kMedian home price = $105kUnemployment < 8%Household income > $40kHousing vacancy ~ 15%Closest Walmart is 7 miles awayFreeway is 1.5 miles awayNumbersMy valuation is coming out about $80k-$100k under the seller's asking priceWith conventional financing I'd be hoping for a purchase price of $500k, $100k down @ 6% over 20 years (not sure if this is plausible or not)Assuming that financing, I'm expecting net cash flow of $40k (after debt service)Upside potential is in raising rent and filling the 18 vacant lotsFollowing the same assumptions above, raising rent $50 (if the market supports it) would change NOI to ~$90k and net cash flow of just over $50kFilling the vacant lots could potentially increase gross rent up to somewhere between $150k-$200k, depending on what the appropriate occupancy rate is for the areaWithout verifying any of the above information (haven't offered anything yet so there's a lot of DD left to do), the deal seems to make sense.

HI BPer'sI'm seeking to buy some more multi families, in today's hot market it looks like off-market could be a good option.Does anyone have a good template letter for Mailing Multi-Family Owners?

We are seeking advice on how we should handle this situation.More details: The rental was not listed until several days prior to closing as our agent indicated that he didn’t want it to span too long, and it was not convenient to show the property as he had to call/text the seller each time.

I have bought a house in the city of Philadelphia July 2016, the recording happened on that time and it has been a year so far , I was selling the property but the buyer insisted on using certain title company which made all things complicated and asked about the notices were sent by the sheriff's office to the old owner, which I never had or received or even sent to me that the Sherrif's send a notice to the old owner.Philadelphia county law said if it is a vacant property the redemption period is nothing ( this property was vacant for 10 years) if the property was occupied it is 9 months from the sale ( usually becomes a year with the recording time ), which already also elapsed, the title company who was closing the deal refused closing and asked me to do A quiet title action or lawsuit , so the old owner or his hires won't have any rights or legally won't have any rights in the property, then I was about to file that but the City officials who are responsible for the court process advised me that this case will be complicated because I will have to find that old owner who does not have any rights legally now already and service him the court case or his hires if he is dead.I am seeking your advice on the matter, and if you know any title company that is aware of the right laws and will to close for me this deal with any buyer please help me Ehab T.

From a strict buy and hold for passive rental income i think it is a pass strictly based off these numbers:your rental income is 1850Your listed expenses are 888if you finance this for around 148-150K mortgage going to be paying around 800 a monththats 1,688 leaving you with 162/m cash flow without a property manager(assuming you do the work yourself)**Maybe look to move the utilities onto the renters to increase margins **CASH on Cash is about 4.8% to manage this yourself are razor thin numbers.
