Property: Single Family w/ Adu - Both spaces rented - Way below median rental - home is listed about 70k lower than appraised How does one acquire a property they know is a great investment when they can’t? 

@Whitney Bivins, it doesn't sound like a deal killer to me as long as the seller cooperates and provides concessions at closing.

Alot of STR's saw lower numbers this year.

To arm you with a little more knowledge, the average 5-year rate of appreciation for Tampa is 9.2%, while the average 5-year rate of appreciation for Orlando is a little lower, at 8.56% That said, Orlando is a tourist hub, so my advice would be if you're looking for something short-term (AirBNB), finding a place in Orlando around the attractions could be the way to go, but if you're looking for a more long-term investment, Tampa may be your best bet.

Do we just lower the sale price by equal amount and the contractor will need to take payment from the new owner? 

Friends close/enemies closer.always great to know the competition.

You could put a higher % down, to lower debt. 

I would rather work with someone who is willing to offer FMV or at least close to it with the understanding to the Seller that the discount is in the convenience. 

Jon,What about the closings? 

I am not too familiar with the area but I would like to avoid lower class neighborhoods as to attract young professionals.
