I felt his easy going attitude change to more of a high pressure approach and that I needed to buy this deal!

The advantage of this is it factors in Property Management, so I wouldn't have to deal with it anymore, but it's still a wash if I purchase a 3rd unit from a cash flow standpoint.From an economy of scale perspective, it makes sense to get the 8 unit:More units to spread out riskPM doing all work instead of me (which is vital if I'm going to keep growing) (Portfolio loan, so worse loan terms, but 1 loan instead of 3).But more potential for turnover, more problems (most likely) as the units are more run down than my current properties, etc. 

Or values go up another 20% then dip 20% and you're a wash.  

Make the rules and procedures clear, written, and signed.I once told a tenant I would pressure wash their porch right after they moved in.

. $56-57 dollars a month is going to be a wash as soon as you fix one thing.

He is a grown man, yet you get him a car, let him use your EZ-Pass, put a roof over his head, pay the utilities, let him take free showers in YOUR house and don't demand rent from him.....please don't tell me you also cook his meals and wash his clothes. 

We are not going a hard pressure sales tactic; It is not our style.

That is what is primarily putting pressure on our area as job creation has been strong and we are tax friendly when compared to our friends in Oregon.

That said if you are paying cash do not let any external pressure to close quickly trick you into cutting corners on due diligence.

Agents downplay a home’s flaws, they push for higher offers, and they put absurd time limits on offers that pressure people to just take the deal on the table, etc.Showing homes is a legitimate service that agents provide, and Open Listings has already figured out that there is an army of underworked agents willing to show homes for $20/hour.Fear is a great motivator.
