My assumption is they want to convert the entire complex to apartments and sell it off for a hefty profit.

Granted i know one has to suffer in order to improve but i found out i will be approved for the loan so no need to stress.As to some of the other post; nope not underwater on my truck it could be sold today for upwards of 26KThe student loan debt came from my wife finishing her masters 1.5 months ago, so yeah there will be much more income to pay that off and she already has a job lined up.A lot of you make some harsh assumption rather than asking questions, and end up looking like jerks.PS i spoke with the lender and was approved for the loan and with the other assets  i have besides the 10k (gold coins/ silver coins stocks) i'll just fine  with upkeep after the down payment.

I have a model that looks at a portfolio 3% DP loan assumption and even after 1.4% rent to purchase price ratio and the 50% rule, my cash flow is REAL slim per month.  

I'm talking to some repeat customers who I feel would make good investors and have a couple on board.

Whenever there's a question like that, IME it means that the underlying assumption is incorrect or illegal.  

That said, applying blanket rules across every market and every circumstance using broad assumptions is irresponsible in my opinion. 

I agree with your assumption that having a smaller place in a high rent area will probably lead to a more stabile tenant.

I am planning to start a website soon and want people's advice regarding my marketing strategy as it relates to SEO.I have recently had an eye-catching logo designed that I hope to use on signage and draw customers by brand recognition from my memorable company name.  

If everyone in America who saw a car commercial on television called to let Honda know they don't want to buy a car, they'd have to hire a few more customer service reps.

I'm sure you can browse expired listings and find motivated sellers, but we do this in parallel with a full time job, so there's no time to make cold calls and create custom mail lists.
