IMO, If a realtor suggested a buyer not get an inspection in order to get a offer accepted and something came up, that realtor could be in hot water and for good reason. 

It is also very subjective and is more or less used as a way to convey to other investors what your opinion of the area is (A=Awesome, B=Better Days Seen, C=Cool, if you're Working Class, D=Don't forget your gun). 

When evaluating properties be sure to make sure they include the basics like: Real Estate Taxes Insurance Gas & Electric Water & Sewage Repairs & Maintenance Unit Turnover Contract Services General & Administrative Payroll & Benefits Marketing & Promotion Legal & Accounting Landscape & Snow Removal Trash Removal Management Fee Reserves for ReplacementsThese items at the very least should be included in any competent underwriting of a property, be it by a broker or the owner directly.  

Water saving ideas was a awesome return on my 24 unit building!

Taxes, insurance sewer and water. 

Be suspicious of replaced plastic  plumbing at the hot water heater and under sinks.

The single property building is most likely one water/sewer/gas/electric service.

Then present the higher and lower rate options based on break even points and how long they intend to own the property.Your seller might very well have $85k in his head, which would be totally cool with you, but you gotta play his game.

I am currently working on a free VA loan ebook to help military members this PCS season.Not sure if anyone is interested, but it would be really cool if we could put an free ebook (like chicknoodle soup for the military investor) together on everyone's investment plan while being in the military.

After loan of the 52k, which we included mortgage, taxes, insurance, plus the water it looks like about a 20% cash flow about 150.00We did find a house hopefully ,still available, that if I can get for 30k when done will be able to get around appox. 28% and if I can get taxes reduced would be hopefully upwards of 35%.
