Rents are super-high, so the chance to rent a private room for less than what your tenant would pay for their own studio or 1BR apartment would be attractive to potential tenants.However, you must figure out a way to qualify to rent the apartment yourself.  

It opened my eyes to the associated risk, closing escrow before the sale. 

Should I fire my realtors for this particular sale?

What my agent and I are trying to figure out is what is a fair split for the sales side of the business as it relates to the broker doing business.

First you must purchase at least as much as your net sale (the contract price minus closing costs). 

These are all currently in my name, i manage the properties myself and have no due on sale clauses on the mortgages i have on some of the properties....  

Spreadsheets don't paste well here, but here is what I'm looking for: Net CFs From Investment 1yr exit Net CFs From Investment 3yr exit Net CFs From Investment 5yr exit Exit Price Gain on Sale Cap Rate IRR Estimated Exit Price/Gain on Sale - 1 Yr Annualized IRR - 1 Yr Estimated Exit Price/Gain on Sale - 3 Yr Annualized IRR - 3 Yr Estimated Exit Price/Gain on Sale - 5 Yr Annualized IRR - 5 Yr Thanks!

@Andrew Postell hit the nail on the head when it comes to lending and sales.

Keep in mind if you have a mortgage on it, the loan might be called because of the Due on sale clause. 

The property is scheduled for a foreclosure sale prior to your close date, is that correct?
