I always feel there’s no way I will come out 50/50 because I don’t consider myself an equal.

Wouldn't a very similar analysis of two identical multi-family units or buildings in two different markets with different rent also illustrate that the 50% rule is equally absurd for multifamily as it is for single family?

The number of units doesn't necessarily equal success.

Obviously with the money from the sale of the property, it would be reinvested into a property of equal or greater value.Any help of this scenario would be much appreciated.Thank You All

In this case, the seller would agree to finance the balance of the sale price, which equals $90,000.

This equals $140,000 Deduct your repair costs from that $140,000.

if everything else is equal, I would like the second option because with a low inventory and a seller's market I would tend to go with more cash flow.  

If they had driven by it, they would have seen it was in very good condition (from the outside...but the inside was equally well-maintained).

Nancy Curran why do you say inherited tenants equal lead paint lawsuit?

Using that to buy a 4plex in Dayton Ohio for $75k that will need $35k in rehab but rents should = $2200/mo after done (which equals 2% rule) on a brick 4plex in Huber Heights area of Dayton.Also the rehab on the 2 duplexes bought 2 months ago in Dayton Ohio are coming along...lots of work needed but 1 duplex should be done soon...the other duplex will be put off until we get the newly acquired 4plex is rehabbed and rented.Next step will be to cash-out refinance to invest that cash into some other deals!
