I bid the first three times, stuck to my top number and stopped, I then watched the bid get raised right before the auction ended.

We just finished all of our legal and licensing and are currently fund raising.

Does it raise a red flag to the seller if I offer only $100?

The only one's that will cashflow will likely be value-add opportunities, where you'll need to get a significant discount, add value or raise rents, then hold for long term appreciation. 

This seems kind of excessive to me and I wondered if I needed to raise the rent.

Want to raise some Capital for other projects.

I'm working with a company who may raise some capital for my llc and they said that I may need a "lenders license" if I (my llc) modifies a preexisting loan.

He had an out of state number which he maintained through his previous lease I believe, with another local landlord; so I just wondered if this would raise a flag to any other landlords here? 

This year I was able to reduce the trash bill by about $300 a month, converted each tenant to my new lease and had them start paying their own water bills, rehabbed the 4 units that were vacant, raised the rent in at least 50% of the units, and I just cut a check to the owners for August 2014 as $10,587.00. 

From there if you can raise rents 2% per year (or bill back for utilities and/or generate other income) and expenses are held in line by year five your cash flow should look like this:Rents and GOI are up 10%, Taxes and Insurance bumped to show expenses up 11% and NOI up 9%.
