The PM uses Appfolio and when trying to set up the ACH transfer to deposit rents to a bank account in NY, Appfolio (which is based in CA) stated to my PM that they can not do ACH transfers to NY because of 'NY Banking Laws' but they didn't provide to her further information on that.Has this happened to anyone else whose PMs use Appfolio or other similar app to get deposits from Out of State to NY or any other state?

Seller financing is an equity based loan, look to the UCC as to default of installment contracts, they become void, points or loan fees are not charged on equity financing.......I said not charged when I should say, should not be charged as I'd bet sellers are not in compliance, they can just lose their note and suffer any consequence that goes with unlawful lending.

Was it an out-of-pocket 10%, based on purchase price + repairs, or repairs only?

Super user friendly and web based :)

I have a duplex in San Jose, recently we rebuilt a 2 car garage in the old garage base which I was not aware a permit is needed.

I'm also brand new to this and based in Columbus. 

@Jake Glassman and @Wendy BergerMy partner is based out of Santa Monica and could help you.

I tried to include all the pertinent information below:Rental Income: $13,200Rent: Currently has a tenant on one side at $550 per month without a lease – I’ve made it a condition of the sale that the tenant has either signed a new lease with my property management company or delivers that side vacant; other side is not rented out due to required rent ready repairs; rental comps in the area show between $550-600 (I’m being conservative and assuming $550).Expenses:Vacancy: 10% ($1,320)Property Management: 10% of gross rents ($1,188)Property Taxes: $2,065 ($905 for City of Memphis, $1,160 for Shelby County)Property Insurance: $450 per year Repairs and Maintenance Assumption: 2% of Property Value per year ($980 per year)Utilities: separately metered; all paid by tenant except for lawn mowing at $25 once a month for $300Advertising: 6% (roughly ½ of first month’s rent) $792 per yearDebt Service: Based on $49k purchase + repair price, 20% ($9.8k) down, 5% 30 year fixed is $2,525 per yearLocation:This is probably where most of my concern is coming from: Western edge of Hickory Hill, Memphis, 38115; major cross streets: just SW of Clarke Rd and Winchester RdAcquisition:Purchase Price: $42k, seller to pay closing costsRepairs: $7.5kTotal Acquisition Cost: $49.5kARV: Large range of comps in the area, best guess is $60kFinancial Metrics:Net Operating Income: $6,105Cap Rate: 12.33%Cash Flow: $3,580 per year, $298.33 per month, $149.17 per unit per monthCash-on-Cash Return: 36.5%Do you think it's a good deal?

Also, just based on the area, I think for the state it is in, it is overpriced.  

If the fee is 4% of base rents collected and 200,000 is collected that is 8,000 a year.
