We also have a property listed in the BP market place and would welcome any and all comments to improve...

My question is that being that I am marketing to landlords, there are obviously some of them still more interested in buying than selling, and you know they are the real deal as they are owners, not time wasters, so is there a way of sticking in the message that if they are interested in buying I may have inventory for them.  

From an investment stand point fletcher place is to expensive for cash flow and almost impossible to get any inventory to flip..  

But the real estate market has improved in most markets over the last 6 years, so banks and mortgage lenders are tending to utilize short sales and allow foreclosures to proceed instead of making concessions on behalf of delinquent homeowners.

So once I have no friends, and focus on self improvement it's easier to find better friends.  

Whatever you can get to make yourself feel safer in your future rent payments.If you will consistently issue 7-day default letters for all of your tenants when they are late, you will see timely rent payments improve. 

For example, the company received $1MM from selling off their inventory but spent that same $1MM to purchase other properties, there really isn't any profit on the books for that particular financial year.

All of those would greatly improve your soft costs. 

So here's the combined numbers for both props on a monthly basis.Purchase Price For both Properties: $120,000Gross Income (both properties): $5,965Gross Effective Income (10% Vacancy rate): $5,368.50 Net Operating Expenses: $2741.31- Cable - $50 (it's gerry rigged)- Water - $435- Electricity - $450 (3 months during the summer its $800 a month)- Dumpster Fee - $185- Fire Insurance - $41- Property Mngmt - 7% (I will use professional management)- Taxes: $363.34- Maintenance: $800Net Operating Income: $2,627.19Capital Improvements: $25,000 (roof, foundation, paint, flooring)The owner combines all expenses for both properties because they are side by side.

I see the growing potential in the rental properties around the campus area, especially since multiple deals have been made by Lex Wexner himself to improve the streets close to OSU.
