There are so many variables to your question and your own personal circumstances.

I’ve even began to wonder if eminent domain would be suitable however I don’t know the legality behind that, and if that’s even available for use in the private sector.If anyone can help that’d be greatly appreciated- SRFThere are a lot of variables here and a whole lot to know.

What is the percentage rate of payback within the 5 years?

I looked at several prior posts, but did not see one with enough of the same variables. 

You can negotiate the variable rates such as 'monthly management fee' but generally speaking, you will need to use their management agreement. 

That seems like a wide percentage spectrum and can drastically vary in cost depending on which end of the percentage spectrum it falls.

I know there are many variables to consider however just trying to see what others think.Thanks. 

Can you give us an idea what’s the %% percentage on the negotiation price… Should we negotiate at 50% of the asking buyout price?  

We developed our own, in-house model where we enter in basic variables such as ARV, rehab cost, hold time, etc that then calculates our maximum "strike price" on a buy.

Water/ sewer/ garbage is about the same cost for a 500 square foot unit as it is for a 3,500 square foot house, so utilities become a bigger percentage of total rent and costs with smaller units.Collecting rent is time consuming, if Section 8 doesn't cover 100% of the rent.
