This building is owner paid utilities, which is probably a considerable factor as to why the expenses are so high in the OM.After sharing my thoughts on both buildings, we mulled it over to see where the opportunity lied.

Of course your area may have different cost factors. 

Modern technology has made that a non factor.

Atlanta appears to have all three of these factors and more, and Chinese buyers are aware of it.

She also listed a number of other factors that's making the sale difficult. 

Depends on lots of factors but keep in mind you will need property reserves for your rental (6 months) plus a down pmt of 3.5% min if you can go FHA. 

Based on my experience, every time I exit early because I gave my investors a great return on their money, they are happy and they tend to reinvest in the next deal.So my vote is to sell early - also another factor is that the market right now is good for selling.

With that as a factor I am getting more realistic returns closer to 10-11%.

Current house $2100/mo mortgage (8years left); should rent for $2200-$2500Moving to place that’s $440k; 5% down conventional renting in-law for $1200-$1500; mortgage should be about $2600I can provide any other numbers/factors/variables to help get feedback.Thanks in advance!

One factor you didn't mention that will weigh into the decision is the size of the loan.
