It's one page of the terms of the sale and 7 pages of "I'm just the agent so if the crap hits the fan, please don't sue me" disclosures.Back in 2007 when the market was tanking, a home buyer sued the broker who sold him a house that quickly went underwater.

We still don't know the purchase price or projected rents, but I'm not a fan of "buying cash flow" by increasing the cash in the property- it's usually not an efficient use of funds; your cash on cash return suffers dramatically.

What would other members do in our shoes?????

Dodd-Frank makes seller financing to an owner occupant very cumbersome, and in some states, the SAFE ACT might preclude you from doing it at all.I'm a big fan of seller financing, but things have changed a lot over the past couple years...

And yeah, @Samuel Larger - I'm a huge fan of the duplex strategy.

I am not a fan of HOA's, they make buy and hold investing a pain.

I'm not a fan of direct deposit because technically a tenant can stop an eviction by putting in .01 into your bank account.

sure am, howdy tiger fan

I am a big fan of leverage.

I am not a big fan of the HOA side of it but $170/m for water, trash, exterior maintenace and pest control seeks pretty reasonable.Number don't look.
