If it were older, I would have also taken that into consideration.Unfortunately, I just had my first experience with a tenant who was both a disgusting slob and a lots of frying, heavy grease/oil user. 

What kind of percent would be fair to command for bringing investors to the table for deals?

When doing a warp strategy, what is the issue if you sell to the end user?

It seems like in my corner of the bay area, the land itself is worth way more than makes sense for buy-and-hold, and you just can't command rents that will come anywhere near covering expenses, even if you found a dump and fixed it up. 

But it would need to be a very high cash distribution rate to compensate for taking the risk of an interest only loan in a rising interest rate environment on an asset with sensitivity to those conditions.Im a believer in long time buy and hold on the small scale regardless of whether we are in a rising interest rate environment or falling interest rate environment....Im even a user of adjustable rate loans....but Im not a user of an interest only loan.Really one of the only reasons Id consider a syndicated deal would be so I can invest with someone I know and trust and like, and can be into a syndication at about $50k, or about half what I typically put down on a single family Id buy.

I said no way because the rentals in the area commanding $900 are no where near as updated as mine.

Even though the city seems to be on the upswing, it still has a way to go to command Dover-like rents and property values. 

The forum has rules against self promotion and also won't let lawyers pay to sponsor--can be a fine line for a need that both users and service providers want...
